Agder

Agder stretches along Norway's southern coast, encompassing twenty-five municipalities with Kristiansand and Arendal serving as administrative centers for the region.

The formation of Agder county in January 2020 resulted from merging Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder regions to establish a more streamlined administrative structure.

Municipalities throughout Agder maintain Norwegian traditions through regular festivals, music performances, and exhibitions that highlight local artisans and maritime heritage.

The county's transportation network includes railways, coastal ferries, and highways connecting all municipalities, with regular services between major towns and rural areas.

Within Agder's borders, residents and visitors find Norway's southernmost point, marked by the Lindesnes Lighthouse, which continues operating since its establishment.
