The fjord starts out with a width of about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) and as it heads northwards, it narrows considerably, at one point the fjord is only 250 metres (820 ft) across. The city of Tønsberg is located at the northern end of the fjord. There is a small canal that runs through Tønsberg and it connects the northern end of the fjord to the Ytre Oslofjord to the east. The southern end of the fjord is where the mouth is, emptying into the Ytre Oslofjord. The mouth lies between Verdens Ende on the east side and the Østerøya peninsula in the west. The small Lahellefjorden is an arm which branches off the Tønsbergfjorden to the west.[1]
