Charming Kristiansund
Kristiansund is a charming and beautiful city, surrounding a natural harbour, and with Norwegian coastal environment at its very best. We are in the county of Møre and Romsdal, and this northern part of the county is Nordmøre, which Kristiansund is a part of. About 55000 people live in Nordmøre, and about 22000 of them in the town.
On top it has a castle-shaped crown with 5 towers in gold.
The town you meet today has lost most of its old character, even if traces of the old town can still be seen in the lower part of the Innlandet. But from the ashes of the old town, the new and modern city of today is appearing, and a walk through this town is both interesting and inspiring.
This far out on the coast the weather is very changing, and it is said that you can experience all 4 seasons in the same day.
