Join the Ibsen Walk – In the Footsteps of Ibsen!

Here you get to see where little Henrik lived and how the family enjoyed a lavish upper-class lifestyle before his father, Knud Ibsen, went bankrupt.
We share various memories Henrik himself wrote down from his childhood, and describe what he was like as a young boy in Skien until he left home at the age of 15.

Practical information

The tour lasts about 45–60 minutes. We start at the Ibsen House in Brekkeparken and walk down the “Ibsen Steps” toward the bust of Ibsen at Sorrento Square in Snipetorpgata and the city of Skien.

If you’re unable to use stairs, you can meet us at the town square (Handelstorget) near Arkaden. Please remember to bring your pre-purchased ticket.
