Kristiansund, Norway

Named after Christian VI and officially awarded township status in 1742, Kristiansund lies on the western coast of Norway. The city is built on five islands and is one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Apart from the developed oil, gas and fishing industries, Kristiansund is a major producer and exporter of bacalao, a salted, dried codfish that is suitable during Lent. Other tourist attractions include Grip, a deserted fishing village with unique architecture and landscapes, the Norwegian Clipfish Museum, and several stone churches.
