Tysnes is a municipality in the county of Hordaland, Norway. It consists of a group of islands, located south of Bergen where the Hardangerfjord and the coastal archipelago meet.
The largest of these islands, also named Tysnes, can be reached from the mainland either by ferry to the town of Våge in the north of the island or by the bridge constructed on the eastern side of the island.
Tysnes is a popular vacation destination. The best way to spend the summer there is to rent summer houses or cottages.
