Stavanger Guide

What is there to do in Stavanger?

Presenting a perfect contrast between ancient architecture and subtle modernisation, Stavanger appeals to every walk of traveller. Explore the authentic infrastructure of the Old Town before dining out at one of the fine restaurants that grace the contemporary areas. The suburban regions have prompted an increase in the general cost of living around the coastal city, however, an array of challenging walking trails and alluring fjords create an itinerary that doesn’t cost a penny. For those who thrive on adventuring up the steep traverses and hillside, Pulpit Rock is a mecca of breathtaking views from the apex of the jagged rock formations. Admire the encompassing surroundings amidst the aura of tranquillity, and rejoice in the sheer beauty of nature. The historic sites showcase the fascinating history of the Norwegian east coast, whilst the fjords and valleys define the natural landscape, but for a truly quintessential harbourside experience, Stavanger’s waterfront comes alive when the summer sun shines down on the host of shops and cafes. The harbour is the perfect place to while away a few hours, basking in the warm ambience and picturesque scenery.
