About this experience

Torås fort is a great place to visit for a day trip. Located in the beautiful town of Kristiansand, it is a great place to explore the history of Norway. The fort was built in 1742 and has been a part of the town's history ever since. It was used as a military base during the Second World War and is now open to the public. The fort is surrounded by a large park and offers stunning views of the surrounding area. Inside the fort, you can explore the old barracks, the gunpowder magazine, and the old guardhouse. There is also a museum which tells the story of the fort and its history. The fort is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
