The [[European route E18]] highway is a major transportation route through Arendal heading to [[Oslo]] in the northeast and [[Kristiansand]] to the southwest. Other main roads in Arendal include the [[Norwegian County Road 407]], [[Norwegian County Road 408]], and [[Norwegian County Road 410]]. The [[Regional rail|local railway line]] [[Arendal Line|Arendalsbanen]] runs to [[Nelaug]] where it connects with the main [[Sørlandsbanen]] railway line, which runs between the cities of [[Oslo]] and [[Stavanger]].

The ''Setesdal Bilruter'' (on behalf of public transit authority [[Agder Kollektivtrafikk|AKT]]) provides bus connections throughout the Arendal area, the [[Setesdal|Setesdal region]] including [[Froland]], as well as to the neighboring towns of [[Grimstad (town)|Grimstad]], [[Lillesand (town)|Lillesand]] and [[Kristiansand]], and a handful of their suburbs and outlying villages. A few more destinations can be reached with other bus operators (namely [[Agder Buss]], [[Nettbuss]], [[Konkurrenten.no]], and [[Lavprisekspressen]]), including places such as [[Risør]], [[Tvedestrand]], [[Oslo]], and [[Stavanger]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arendalsområdet |url=http://akt.no/info/reise/rutetabeller/arendalsomraadet/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210175811/http://akt.no/info/reise/rutetabeller/arendalsomraadet/ |archive-date=10 December 2017 |access-date=2017-12-09 |publisher=AKT |language=no}}</ref> There is also a bus connection to [[Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik|Kristiansand Airport]] operated by [[Agder Flyekspress]] and [[Nettbuss express]] (the latter on behalf of [[Flybussen.no]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Flybuss |url=http://akt.no/info/reise/flybuss/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210175832/http://akt.no/info/reise/flybuss/ |archive-date=10 December 2017 |access-date=2017-12-09 |publisher=AKT |language=no}}</ref> Ferries run between the city center and the islands of [[Hisøya]] and [[Tromøya]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ferry Tromøy-Arendal-Hisøy |url=https://www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/southern-norway/arendal/listings-arendal/ferry-trom%C3%B8y-arendal-his%C3%B8y/5415/ |access-date=2017-12-09 |publisher=VisitNorway.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=M/F Kolbjørn III – M/F Kolbjørn III |url=http://www.mfkolbjoern.no/v3/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910171418/http://www.mfkolbjoern.no/v3/ |archive-date=2016-09-10 |access-date=2013-06-27}}</ref> Arendal does also have an airport, [[Arendal Airport, Gullknapp]], although it does not have any commercial airlines regularly stopping here.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arendal lufthavn Gullknapp |url=http://www.gullknapp.no/web.aspx?page=112376 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111044059/http://www.gullknapp.no/web.aspx?page=112376 |archive-date=2019-11-11 |access-date=2017-12-09 |language=no}}</ref>
