Risør havn

Risør havn sits right in the heart of Risør, one of Norway's best-preserved wooden town settlements, so you're steps away from white-painted 19th-century houses, galleries, and good food. The harbour is run by the Risør Sailing Association, meaning there's actual hands-on help available if you need guidance with mooring. It's a lively, characterful base to explore the Skagerrak coast, and the town itself is reason enough to stop here.
