Sandefjord was this year elected as Recreational Municipality of the Year. Our objective is to promote active living in our beautiful countryside. With 146 km of coastline and 116 small islands everything is set for a beautiful day out. Large forests surround the town, with paths and floodlit trails. In order to make accessibility easy for cyclists, we have invested heavily in signs, cycle trails and cycle maps.

In Sandefjord you will find a wide selection of quality restaurants. You can enjoy everything from a simple, old-fashioned farmer`s supper to five-course gourmet meals. There are internationally renowned chefs in town who can offer a memorable meal in beautiful surroundings. The country’s oldest privately-owned fish store is located at the harbour. The fishermen in the district deliveres fresh fish every day, and they also provides the local restaurants.

The town has something to offer all year round. The three historical periods: the viking era, `kurbadtiden` and whaling era have all given the town interesting sites and stories.

Sandefjord is a town with a good location and infrastructure. Great connections with buses and trains, highway E-18, a ferry goes several times a day to Sweden, and Sandefjord Airport Torp connects the town with the rest of Norway and the world with daily flights domestically and internationally.
