👍👍 Spectacular view of Risør from the top. Truly worth the short walk to the top. Its pretty steep but all should be able if you just take a few stops on the way - where you also can enjoy the nice views. The houses on the way is also very interesting.

Peterhead

Pub

😠 Rude and very poor and rude customer service. Discriminating customers in other customers' hearings. No interest on the part of the owner in hearing the complainant's version. Big difference from the previous owner's way of treating customers which was exemplary.. Been my favorite pub until now but...

Stiftelsen Risør Akvarium

Aquarium

😐 Interesting to see the local marine underwater life. Fishing for crabs keeps the kids busy. With all the different tanks we were expecting info about the different species. Why not pictures and names beside the tanks?

Rådhusgata spiseri & mer

Restaurant

😐 Nice place, But way too busy for the staff to handle. We both wanted warm food/dinner, but was recommended by the waiter to choose a cold dish due to the small kitchen. We ordered advocado and shrimp salad (very fishy, but very good) and a pizza.
