Sandefjord is much more than a summer destination with a whaling history—it's a town with many faces. Known as the whaling town, the cultural hub, the entrepreneurial city, the beach paradise, and even the flower town, Sandefjord captures a rich diversity that the "Tenk Sandefjord" project seeks to highlight. This initiative aims to uncover and celebrate the hidden gems of the municipality, making Sandefjord a vibrant place that its residents are proud to call home, while also drawing in new people and businesses. By showcasing its diverse cultural life, thriving business community, and exceptional quality of life, the project underscores why Sandefjord is one of Norway's best cities.
