Stavanger is one of the largest cities in Norway, and one with a mild climate by Norwegian standards. It’s a place that combines contrasting attractions, offering both a lively city and access to unspoilt nature with mountains and sandy beaches, plus ancient history. Be sure to visit the historic city centre, see the old wooden houses, the beautiful Stavanger Cathedral and stroll around the harbour. It’ s a very pretty coastal town and in summer the waterfront and port come alive.

Stavanger’s U-shaped waterfront area that surrounds the inner harbour of the historic Vågen bay is very walkable. It’s also one of the city’s most beautiful spots for sightseeing strolls. The city centre is compact and traffic free, so walking is a good option. The bus service connects most of the city and its best to buy a pre-paid card to travel on buses. Taking a taxi is a good option and you can hail one on the street or from the popular attractions.
