- MadamveggieOslo, Norway600 contributionsWe spent three days in Mandal which is a small town in Southern Norway. "Buen cultural center" is a fine place to visit if you want to listen to concerts or read books. There is a library,cafeteria and a cinema theater inside. Lovely pedestrian bridge you can walk to the cultural house.
We enjoyed listening to "Blues supply", a new album "Har du non gang blitt lurt" being released last Friday. Drinks were sold to audience while the band held the concert which was terribly annoying and one glass of coke cost 52 NOK!!! Smelled greedy!
But on Saturday we listened to "Gitarklubben", a gypsy jazzband which had a free concert!! They played Flamenco, Django Reinart, Rumba etc etc. We were amazed by their performance. They also play at restaurant in the evenings. Very entertaining. We had a fine experience and thanks to Buen cultural center for encouraging local musicians :-)Written September 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The little rose garden is always well kept and invites to sit and relax.
I used to play on the grounds growing up, before the street with parking and marina was built. Also remember looking out Grandmothers windows right into the museum gallery.Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Drive to the church, where you can park your car. Make your way around the island, about 1 to 1½ hours leisurely walking. The nicest part of the trip is from Dyrstad to Skjernesund, it runs on a narrow dirt road without traffic.
Make your way up to Grotevarden, the island's highest mountain, about 105 m above sea level. Another great point for view is the Høgearden. From the parking place located at the church is approx metre 100 m to go to Amtestien, that's leads right up. Here is a coastguard station 1898 and a great view all around the horizon.
A tour around Rossnes bay is also recommendable. Start by the hanging bridge across the bay. and take approx halve a hour, perhaps a little more in some easy difficult terrain. It may in some places be wet if it has recently rained.Written June 24, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The surroundings has a river and forrest with hiking possibilities. At Christmas it is a fair with local food and crafts which is very popular and most local people with children pay a visit. Very nice!Written September 7, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bryndis93Berlin, Germany411 contributionsI visited the Mandal library couple of times when I lived there. The building itself is very nice, a modern one still with a turf roof. There is a big variety of books and there are also computers available.
P.S. The very lovely staff can print and scan documents etc. for a small fee.Written July 27, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Playground has both recreational equipment and park furniture. It features a couple of swing sets, trampoline (out of order at time of visit), mini- climbing wall, thightrope, waterpump, speak-and-listen device, two hammocks, cycle carousel.
Theres many benches inspirering you to bring your lunch. Also some shaded sitting areas. Kiosk located in the Kulturhuset building.
The playground doesn't cater very well for children younger than two or three years of age. There's no sandbox either. Parking is ample and on-site. Admittance is free.Written July 26, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Construction work started after the city fire in 1810, and the church was opened for service in 1821. There is a nice churchyard surrounding the building.Written May 12, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fjodolf1Stavanger, Norway819 contributionsVery peaceful ride along the west side of the river along the Fv201. Nice view to the river and very little traffic along the road. We decided to turn in Øyslebø and took the 455 southwards to Holum where there was a bridge across the river and back to Fv201.Written July 16, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
