Stavern Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor in Stavern, one of Norway's most beloved summer towns in Vestfold, about 1.5 hours south of Oslo. The setting is classic Norwegian coast — a charming harbour town with a rich naval history, sandy beaches, and a laid-back summer atmosphere that draws Norwegians back year after year. From here you're well placed to explore Thor Heyerdahl's legacy (the Kon-Tiki explorer was born in Larvik nearby), Viking history, and some excellent farm-to-table dining along the shore.
