Voykit pocket guide · Norway

Flekkefjord

Half a day is enough: walk the white wooden town, eat at the harbour and leave. No need to sleep unless you are using it as a stop between Stavanger and Kristiansand.

Flekkefjord is a compact coastal town in Agder with a preserved 18th-century wooden centre, a small harbour and a handful of cafés. It works best as a lunch-and-stroll break on the E39 drive between Stavanger and Kristiansand. The town has no major sights that demand a full day.
