Sandefjord Port Ferry Overview
Sandefjord is a town and municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The name originally belonged to the fjord (now called the Sandefjordsfjord). The first element is the genitive case of the name of the parish and former municipality of Sandar. Sandefjord was formerly a famous health resort, with various kinds of baths for health improvement. Today the bath's building has been restored and now hosts cultural events and various activities.
