A walk through history 

With your local guide, you’ll take a leisurely walk along the picturesque harbour of Pollen. We’ll continue past the Neo-Gothic Trefoldighestskirke, or Trinity Church, towards Tyholmen, the old part of Arendal. Here, the charming cobblestoned streets are lined with traditional wooden houses. The town hall, built between 1812 and 1815, is particularly impressive. 

After your guided walk, you’ll have some free time. We recommend taking a trip on the glass elevator to soak up the soul-stirring views of the town, coastline and islands beyond.
