Discovering Stavanger - A Coastal Haven Beyond the Oil Industry

Stavanger is a captivating fusion of the past and present. With roots tracing back to the Middle Ages, the city was once a peaceful coastal market town and later, a significant fishing port. However, everything changed when oil was discovered offshore in 1969. Since then, the bustling city has undergone a dramatic transformation in both its fortunes and landscape

While Stavanger may have earned its reputation as the oil capital of Norway, it's much more than just a hub for energy industry executives. Situated on the southwestern coast, it's an ideal location for exploring Norway's natural beauty. There are endless activities to enjoy in and around this scenic area, including soul-soothing beaches, life-affirming mountain hikes, and opportunities to learn about the city's maritime history.

Stavanger is a charming city that has something to offer everyone. Explore the beautiful old town and its picturesque streetscapes, interactive museums, and excellent Nordic cuisine. This walkable city seamlessly blends the old with the new, featuring preserved wooden houses and vibrant street art. Discover the charm of Stavanger as you stroll through the historic wharf houses by the harbor, accompanied by the sweet sound of seagulls in the background. Take a walk around Gamle Stavanger and admire the picturesque white-painted wooden houses - a hallmark of the city's oldest neighborhood. Make sure to drop by the numerous galleries and handicraft shops, and don't miss the colorful Ovre Holmegate, known as "Fargegata" (the color street), lined with quaint cafes, boutiques, and galleries. Join an art walk and discover everything from massive murals to tiny works of art adorning doorways and buses throughout the city. For a taste of the sea, visit Fisketorget, the city's fish market, where you can savor fresh seafood or dine on the perfectly prepared catch of the day at the adjoining restaurant. Stavanger is also an ideal base for experiencing Norway's natural wonders. Take a short 30-minute drive to the wild west coast's beaches or venture out to Pulpit Rock and Lysefjord for some of Norway's most breathtaking views. Whether you prefer a relaxing drive, a thrilling RIB ride, or a scenic hike, Stavanger's natural beauty awaits you. Don't miss the annual Gladmat food festival, where you can indulge in local delicacies. Explore the evergreen islands in the northern region or visit the unique moonstone landscape of the Magma UNESCO Global Geopark in the south. Plunge into the waves, try water kiting, or take a leisurely walk along the mile-long Jæren beaches. In the Stavanger region, you will find wide plains and high mountains just outside the city center.

Located on the southwest fringes of Scandinavia's stunning fjord region, Stavanger is a breathtaking destination that has something to offer everyone. From cultural experiences and natural beauty to delicious gastronomy and rich history, Stavanger has it all.
