Kristiansund is a city and municipality located on the western coast of Norway, spread across four main islands at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Founded in 1742, it developed as an important fishing port and was particularly known for the production and export of klippfisk (dried and salted cod). The city's maritime heritage remains evident in its architecture and cultural institutions.

Despite significant damage during World War II, Kristiansund was rebuilt and today combines its historical fishing industry with modern sectors including offshore oil services. The city's cultural scene is enriched by its opera tradition, making it known as "The Opera City," with the Operaen i Kristiansund being one of Norway's oldest opera companies. The surrounding area features distinctive coastal landscapes and historical sites that reflect the region's deep connection to the sea.
