Sandefjord
Vestfold · Norway
Sandefjord, on the Skaggerak coast of southern Norway, is the self-styled whaling capital of the world — home to the only whaling museum in Europe and the site where the 9th-century Gokstad Ship was unearthed nearby. The town sits at the head of a fjord, with a walkable centre full of cafés and several historic churches, beaches along both flanking peninsulas, and a summer resort reputation it has held for generations.
