Risor
Risør
This cluster of historic white houses built around a small fishing harbour is one of Norway’s most picturesque villages. It’s popular with artists and tourists, and is a summer hangout for Norway’s yachties. Visits to nearby islands can be made by inexpensive water taxis. One such island is Stangholmen, which has an old lighthouse with a restaurant and bar. Risør is on the curving southern coast, south of Oslo.
