Kristiansund

Spread across three islands in Norway's Møre og Romsdal county, Kristiansund has one of the most densely built compact-city centres in the country, with a walkable waterfront core full of cafés and restaurants and mountain terrain visible from the harbour. The town sits in the Nordmøre region, and its compact island geography — Kirklandet, Innlandet, and Nordlandet — gives it an unusually urban feel for a town of its size.
