On a sunny day

On a sunny day in Porsgrunn, you can enjoy Porsgrunn's diversity of exciting places to eat.
Many of the restaurants and cafes are located along the river or even out in the river as well, most of them with outdoor cafes where you can sit and watch the people and boat life.

You can walk along the beautiful promenade along the riverbank or along the mainstreet. Porsgrunn has an incredible floral splendor that is noticed far beyond Porsgrunn's borders.

Osebakken bathing place is a small gem of a bathing beach just north of the city center, great for family activities and there is the opportunity to grill there as well. If you want to go to the coast, Olavsberget bathing place by the Eidangerfjord is popular. There are also diving towers here, for those who dare to jump from a height. And the bathing places are in a row along the fjord.

Mule Varde is a public open space with a beautiful park. The two small beaches are popular for both grown ups and children.

A popular outdoor activity is island hopping. From the cozy coastal town of Brevik you can take the ferry out to as many as 9 different islands in the Langesund Fjord. Jump off and on or spend a night or two in tents or adapted accommodation. 

Once you are in Brevik, take the time to experience this idyllic coastal town with one of the country's best-preserved wooden houses.
Brevik is also known as the ice cream town, so we recommend a trip to one of the city's very rich ice cream bars.
