Skien is one of Norway's oldest cities, dating back to the Middle Ages. It's famously the birthplace of renowned playwright Henrik Ibsen, and you can explore his childhood home, now a museum. Skien is also known as the starting point of the scenic Telemark Canal, a historic waterway with a spectacular system of locks. Historically a center for seafaring and timber exports, it now boasts a blend of urban life with pedestrian streets, green spaces, and a vibrant cultural scene.
