Arendal was in earlier times called the "Nordic Venice". There were several canals penetrating the city.
At the beginning of the century all canals were filled, but the near future plan is to dig them all up again and make beautiful bridges. Arendal is now first and foremost a summer city with many tourists from June to August.
Every year in the past we have arranged
OFFSHORE GRAND PRIX, Formula 1,
and some world records were set!
The population increases to about 100 000 in one weekend.
We have plenty of small islands outside the coastline where both locals and tourists resort the whole summer season.
Most visitors come by boat. The harbour is filled with a variety of sizes. From large yachts to our original wooden boat :
"tre-sjekte".
