"Arendal" Arendal by Bjorgvin

Arendal Travel Guide: 35 reviews and 45 photos


Arendal (Aust-Agder). This small southern village has become the tenth largest town in Norway in terms of population. For centuries up to 70% of Norwegian iron ore used to come from the Arendal area, and in the age of the sailing ships the timber trade and industry led to the growth of this important maritime town. Visit Tyholmen, which is Europe's best preserved part of a town.
