It&#8217;s the <strong>fourth largest city in the country<\/strong>, which grew rich on oil, yet has managed to hold onto the wonderfully calm atmosphere of a fishing harbour, complete with narrow cobbled lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most travellers come here for one simple reason, as it&#8217;s the <strong>best base for the hike up the famous Preikestolen cliff<\/strong>, but it would be a real shame to leave town straight after the trek. This is where you&#8217;ll find the best-preserved white wooden houses in all of Europe, a street ablaze with neon colours, and unexpectedly long sandy beaches where the locals love to surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide we&#8217;ll take a look together at <strong>12 things to see and do in Stavanger<\/strong>, so you don&#8217;t miss a single highlight. We&#8217;ll cover the best time to visit, point out exactly where to base yourself, and I&#8217;ll also throw in some tips for buying boat tickets to the nearby Lysefjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133de7a7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133de7a7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1207\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01.jpg\" alt=\"Old wooden houses in Gamle Stavanger\" class=\"wp-image-260025\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-01-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-see-stavanger-norway\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-see-stavanger-norway\/#When_to_Visit_Stavanger\" >When to Visit Stavanger<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-see-stavanger-norway\/#Where_to_Stay_in_Stavanger\" >Where to Stay in Stavanger<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-see-stavanger-norway\/#The_Historic_and_Colourful_City_Centre\" >The Historic and Colourful City Centre<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/things-see-stavanger-norway\/#1_Gamle_Stavanger_The_Old_Town\" >1.

surrounding mountains, <strong>the best time to visit is from May to September<\/strong>. During these months the days are pleasantly long and the mountain trails to Preikestolen or Kjerag tend to be safely passable and free of snow. Summer temperatures usually hover around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is absolutely ideal for hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the influence of the Gulf Stream, the weather in Stavanger, Norway is <strong>surprisingly mild all year round<\/strong>, so winters here aren&#8217;t as harsh as in the interior or up north. You do need to bear in mind, though, that autumn and winter bring far more rain showers and strong winds. From October to April there are also fewer tourist boats running, and some of the more remote mountain routes may be completely closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133df423&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133df423\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1011\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Stavanger by the harbour\" class=\"wp-image-260033\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-03-1392x782.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Jeswin Thomas \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Stavanger\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Stavanger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Accommodation and experiences tip: We like to look for places to stay on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which usually has the best cancellation terms.

Norway isn&#8217;t a cheap destination in general, and a night in a double room will typically cost you from 1,400 to 2,400 NOK, which is roughly 120 to 210 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d always recommend booking your accommodation well in advance through Booking, especially if you&#8217;re coming during the busy summer months.

It&#8217;s fascinating to see how the city has split into two completely different faces, just a few minutes&#8217; walk apart. On one side of the harbour you&#8217;ll find a <strong>strictly protected historic district full of white houses<\/strong>, while on the other an explosion of colour, modern art and bustling caf\u00e9s awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d suggest starting your walk by the lake in the middle of town and gradually heading towards the bay, where everything from little fishing boats to enormous ocean liners drops anchor. Let&#8217;s take a look at <strong>the most interesting spots you shouldn&#8217;t miss<\/strong> while wandering the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e0138&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e0138\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05.jpg\" alt=\"The old town of Gamle Stavanger\" class=\"wp-image-260039\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-05-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Susanne Jutzeler, suju-foto \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Gamle_Stavanger_The_Old_Town\"><\/span>1. Gamle Stavanger (The Old Town)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gamle Stavanger district is probably the most photographed place in the entire city and definitely ranks among the most beautiful historic neighbourhoods in northern Europe. It sits on the western side of the harbour and is made up of a <strong>cluster of 174 beautifully maintained wooden houses<\/strong>, dating mostly from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally these houses belonged to poor sailors and workers from the local canning factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you walk along the cobbled lanes, you&#8217;ll certainly notice that absolutely every house is painted in dazzling white. In the past, white paint was the most expensive of all, so only wealthy merchants could afford it, while poorer folk painted their homes in cheaper red or ochre. As the residents of Stavanger gradually grew richer, however, they <strong>repainted their homes white to show off their rise in social standing<\/strong>, and today strict heritage rules require it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Ideally visit the district either early in the morning or in the early evening, when the crowds from the cruise ships aren&#8217;t around. The locals lovingly care for their homes, decorating the windows with flowers and lining the lanes with old-fashioned lanterns, so you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;ve stepped into a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e07cb&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e07cb\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06.jpg\" alt=\"The colourful Fargegata street\" class=\"wp-image-260040\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-06-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Susanne Jutzeler, suju-foto \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Colourful_Ovre_Holmegate_Street_Fargegata\"><\/span>2.

Here you&#8217;ll find a row of older houses, but they&#8217;re <strong>painted in crazy shades of pink, turquoise, green and yellow<\/strong>. The idea was born in 2005, when local hairdresser Tom S. Kos\u00e6g decided to breathe life into what was until then a fairly dull and declining part of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called in artist Craig Flannagan, who designed the precise colour scheme for each individual house so that neighbouring buildings would harmonise yet also create striking contrast. The plan worked a treat, and <strong>Fargegata became a buzzing hub of social life<\/strong>, where locals and travellers alike come for a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the best spot in Stavanger if you fancy a speciality coffee, a pint from a local microbrewery, or want to explore the small independent boutiques and vintage clothing shops. <strong>You&#8217;ll find plenty of great caf\u00e9s serving vegetarian treats<\/strong> here, with tables out on the street in summer, so you can just sit back and soak up the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e0f70&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e0f70\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Breiavatnet and V\u00e5gen harbour\" class=\"wp-image-260041\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-07-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Nguyen Ngoc Tien \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Lake_Breiavatnet_and_Vagen_Harbour\"><\/span>3.

It serves as a kind of <strong>green oasis of calm amid the urban bustle<\/strong>, where you can feed the swans and ducks or simply rest on a bench beneath the trees. A pleasant promenade runs around the lake that you can stroll in about twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few steps north of the lake and you&#8217;ll find yourself at V\u00e5gen harbour, which cuts deep into the city centre. The harbour is lined with historic merchant houses known as Sj\u00f8husene, which once served as salt and fish warehouses, but <strong>today they hide the best restaurants and bars in town<\/strong>.

Stavanger Cathedral (Domkirke)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Right on the shore of Lake Breiavatnet stands Stavanger Cathedral (Domkirke), which is <strong>the oldest continuously functioning cathedral in all of Norway<\/strong>. It was built back in the 12th century, around the same time the city itself was founded. Its construction was initiated by the English bishop Reinald, which explains why the Romanesque parts of the building so strongly recall the English architecture of that era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cathedral went through a major fire in 1272, after which it was rebuilt and extended with Gothic <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Elements Hotel&amp;Spa\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/elements-hotelspa\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">elements<\/a>, giving it a very unique and intriguing look. It isn&#8217;t a huge, pompous structure like the ones we&#8217;re used to in central Europe, but <strong>its massive stone walls and wooden interior radiate immense calm and humility<\/strong>. There&#8217;s usually a small admission fee to go inside, but it&#8217;s well worth it to see the beautifully decorated Baroque pulpit from 1658.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e172c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e172c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09.jpg\" alt=\"Museums and art for rainy days\" class=\"wp-image-260043\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-09-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Jan-Rune Smenes Reite \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museums_and_Art_for_Rainy_Days\"><\/span>Museums and Art for Rainy Days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather in Norway can be fairly unpredictable, so it always helps to have a backup plan in case of rain.

The city was in fact a <strong>world capital of fish canning, above all the famous smoked sardines<\/strong>. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there were over 50 canneries here, employing more than half of the city&#8217;s entire population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canning Museum is housed in the authentic premises of an old factory right in the heart of the Gamle Stavanger district. It shows you the complete process, from salting the fish, threading them onto wires and smoking them in huge ovens, to hand-packing them into little tins. <strong>The most interesting part is the collection of thousands of different paper labels<\/strong>, which were stuck on the cans and exported from here all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e2cdf&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e2cdf\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12.jpg\" alt=\"Street art and the Nuart festival\" class=\"wp-image-260046\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-12-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Susanne Jutzeler, suju-foto \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Street_Art_and_the_Nuart_Festival\"><\/span>7.

This is mainly down to the acclaimed Nuart festival, held here from 2001, which every year drew the best street artists from around the world to legally paint selected walls and buildings around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the festival is currently on hiatus, <strong>its legacy is visible at every turn<\/strong>. As you wander the centre you&#8217;ll constantly come across enormous murals, witty stencils and small installations. Try roaming the lanes around Fargegata or towards the Storhaug district, where you&#8217;ll find the most beautiful murals. At the local tourist centres you can even pick up a special map that guides you to the most famous works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e3333&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e3333\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1207\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13.jpg\" alt=\"The Lysefjord near Stavanger\" class=\"wp-image-260047\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-13-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gateway_to_the_Fjords_and_Natural_Wonders_Nearby\"><\/span>Gateway to the Fjords and Natural Wonders Nearby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The city itself is beautiful, but the real reason travellers from all over the world make their way here lies beyond its borders. <strong>The area around Stavanger offers some of the most dramatic natural scenery in Europe<\/strong>, and whether you prefer demanding mountain treks or comfortable boat trips, you&#8217;ll find something for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the famous cliffs, you&#8217;ll also find places here you&#8217;d probably never expect in Norway, from historic monuments to exotic gardens.

It&#8217;s <strong>without a doubt the most iconic natural phenomenon in all of Norway<\/strong>, and Stavanger serves as the main transfer hub and base for everyone planning to conquer it. The start of the trek itself lies about 40 kilometres from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer season, regular direct buses run here from central Stavanger, comfortably dropping you off at the car park by the Preikestolen Fjellstue mountain lodge, where the hike begins. <strong>The whole trip, including transport and the climb, will take you roughly 6 to 8 hours<\/strong>, so be sure to set aside a full day for it. The trail is about 8 kilometres there and back and moderately challenging, but the views from the top down into the deep fjord are utterly breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: We&#8217;ve put together a detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/?p=259916\">standalone article on hiking Preikestolen<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll find an exact route description, parking tips and advice on how to avoid the biggest crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e4354&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e4354\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15.jpg\" alt=\"Boat trips on the Lysefjord\" class=\"wp-image-260049\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-15-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u0410\u043d\u0442\u043e\u043d \u0417\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Boat_Trips_on_the_Lysefjord\"><\/span>9.

Tickets usually cost around 500 to 600 NOK per adult and tend to sell out fast in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d recommend reserving your spot on the boat a few days ahead; the best way to do that is via <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a>, where you can clearly see the available times and reviews of the individual operators. <strong>During the cruise you&#8217;ll sail right beneath the gigantic Preikestolen cliff<\/strong>, see wild waterfalls tumbling off the steep rock faces, and the boat often nips up close to caves once used by smugglers. It&#8217;s a magnificent experience that finally makes you grasp the sheer scale of the Norwegian mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e49cc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e49cc\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1192\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16.jpg\" alt=\"The Sverd i fjell monument\" class=\"wp-image-260050\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-700x464.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-696x461.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-16-1392x922.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: TomasEE \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_Sverd_i_Fjell_Monument\"><\/span>10. The Sverd i Fjell Monument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just about six kilometres from the city centre, by the Hafrsfjord bay, stands the historic monument Sverd i fjell, which translates as Three Swords in the Rock. From a distance it looks as though someone has driven <strong>three enormous bronze swords into the solid granite, the largest of which measures almost 10 metres<\/strong>. This striking monument was created by sculptor Fritz R\u00f8ed and unveiled by Norway&#8217;s King Olav V in 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The location was no accident. It was in the Hafrsfjord bay in the year 872 that the famous naval battle took place, after which King Harald Fairhair united Norway into a single state for the first time in history. <strong>The largest sword symbolises the victorious king, while the two smaller swords belong to the defeated leaders.<\/strong> The crowns on the hilts represent the different regions, and the fact that the swords are firmly driven into the rock symbolises a peace that should never again be broken by war. You can get here easily by city bus from Stavanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e5091&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e5091\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17.jpg\" alt=\"The sandy beaches of J\u00e6ren and Sola\" class=\"wp-image-260051\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-17-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Barnabas Davoti \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_The_Sandy_Beaches_of_Jaeren_and_Sola\"><\/span>11. The Sandy Beaches of J\u00e6ren and Sola<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone says Norway, swimming and sunbathing on a beach probably aren&#8217;t the first things that spring to mind. But the J\u00e6ren region stretching south of Stavanger will prove you wrong, offering <strong>several dozen kilometres of long sandy beaches with dunes<\/strong> that you&#8217;d sooner expect somewhere in Denmark or northern Germany. The best-known and most accessible is Solastranden beach, which lies just a short distance from the international airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water in the North Sea here tends to be pretty icy even in the middle of a hot summer, but that doesn&#8217;t stop the locals from making the most of the beaches. <strong>It&#8217;s a renowned spot for surfing and kitesurfing<\/strong>, and when the wind really picks up it&#8217;s fascinating to watch dozens of kites in the sky. For longer walks along the sea and collecting shells, the quieter and wilder Borestranden beach is the better bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_The_Tropical_Gardens_of_Flor_Fjaere\"><\/span>12.

On the private island of S\u00f8r-Hidle, the Bryn family has been building and tending the fantastic Flor &amp; Fj\u00e6re gardens for several generations, where <strong>thanks to a specific microclimate, huge palm trees, banana plants and thousands of exotic flowers grow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an immensely popular half-day excursion, but there&#8217;s one catch: you have to book it well in advance. <strong>The gardens are only open from May to September<\/strong>, and the package always includes the boat trip from Stavanger, a guided tour and a superb meal at the on-site restaurant. The local chefs are masters of their craft, and although you&#8217;ll naturally come across fish and seafood among the local specialities, they always know how to put together an excellent vegetarian menu from local vegetables too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a36a133e5893&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a36a133e5893\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19.jpg\" alt=\"How to get to Stavanger\" class=\"wp-image-260053\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/norsko-stavanger-19-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Jakob Andersson \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Stavanger\"><\/span>How to Get to Stavanger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By Norwegian standards Stavanger is very easy to reach, and you can choose from several ways to travel, depending on exactly where you&#8217;re setting off from and whether you&#8217;re bringing your own car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest option is of course flying. <strong>Stavanger Airport (Sola) lies just 15 kilometres from the city centre<\/strong> and receives flights from many European cities, as well as very frequent domestic connections from Oslo. From the UK there are direct flights with airlines such as British Airways, KLM (via Amsterdam) or SAS, so it&#8217;s worth comparing routes and prices before you book. From the airport you can then easily and fairly cheaply reach the centre on the special airport bus (Flybussen) in about twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling to Norway in your own or a hired car, <strong>it&#8217;s very handy to take the direct ferry from the Danish port of Hirtshals<\/strong>. The crossing takes roughly 10 to 12 hours and often runs overnight, so you can sleep comfortably in a cabin and roll off with your car in Stavanger the next morning. For travellers without a car, there&#8217;s also the S\u00f8rlandsbanen train route from Oslo, which takes around 8 hours and serves up absolutely fantastic views of Norwegian nature along the southern coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_Stavanger\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from Stavanger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve explored the city and hiked Preikestolen, Norway has plenty more gorgeous places lined up for you.
