Kvadraturen and Vågsbygd: how close together the places are
- In Kvadraturen all the addresses lie within about 450 metres.
- Two places for classic massage are less than fifty metres apart, in Tollbodgata and in Markens gate.
- Thai massage is gathered in Skippergata and Henrik Wergelands gate, two parallel neighbouring streets.
- The clinic in Vågsbygd is about two and a half kilometres south-west of Markens gate as the crow flies.
Almost everything on this page is in Kvadraturen, the grid of streets that forms the centre of Kristiansand. The distances are short: between the two addresses furthest apart, in Tollbodgata and in Henrik Wergelands gate, it is about 450 metres as the crow flies. So the type of massage can decide, and the street can come second.
The groups still draw a pattern on the map. Classic and sports massage are by Markens gate: two places less than fifty metres apart, in Tollbodgata and in Markens gate, and a third just under 400 metres further up the street. Thai massage, oil massage and aroma massage are in Skippergata and Henrik Wergelands gate, where three places lie less than a hundred metres apart.
Outside the centre there is one place on the list: a clinic for massage and skincare in Vågsbygd Ringvei. It offers classic massage alongside skincare, and saves those who live in the district the trip into town.
The selection is the editors' own, and there are more places than these. The catalogue holds 25 cards in the category Spa & Massage Centers, and guides on related topics are in the section Beauty and wellness.
Online calendar, phone or drop-in: how to get an appointment
- Most of the places have an online calendar where you choose the treatment and the time yourself.
- The two Thai salons in Skippergata take both appointments and drop-in.
- The chain clinic in Markens gate has no phone number on its card: there you book online.
- You decide the duration yourself, from under half an hour to an hour and a half or more.
The websites show (read on 7 October 2026) that most of the places have a calendar where you book yourself. That goes for everyone in the group for classic massage and for the place in Henrik Wergelands gate, and the link is in the card. The chain clinic in Markens gate gives no phone number, so there the web is the only way in.
The Thai salons in Skippergata keep to phone and drop-in. One writes appointments by phone or drop-in, the other drop-in and appointments every day, and also has a contact form on its website. The massage therapist in Tollbodgata writes that it is possible to book an appointment outside the ordinary opening hours.
How long the session lasts is settled when you book. At the chain clinic the booking page showed sessions of 25, 50, 75 and 100 minutes (read on 5 October 2026). The place in Henrik Wergelands gate has aroma and oil massage from 40 to 90 minutes, sports massage from 30 to 80 and Thai massage from 40 to 80, and the same treatments can be booked as a couples massage.
The cards give no prices. The price lists are on the places' websites and in the calendars; one of the Thai salons has dated its list 1 September 2026. Most also sell gift cards, according to their websites.
