Overview

Discover the fascinating Stavanger, a unique city full of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Getting to know a city is much more than just visiting its monuments. Here you will enjoy a complete experience, exploring the curiosities that surround it, its history, its people, and its culture. We will start the visit at the most emblematic lake in the center, next to Stavanger Cathedral, a wonderful example of medieval architecture. We will immerse ourselves in maritime history by strolling through the harbor, where the Maritime Museum is located. We will walk through the charming streets of Gamle Stavanger and along its most colorful and iconic street: Øvre Holmegate (Fargegaten). We will also visit its magnificent library and enjoy the best views from the viewpoint of Valberget, the old fire tower.

In addition to its architecture and most representative monuments, we will talk about its gastronomy, the most important festivities, and its curious customs. We will conclude the tour in front of the Petroleum Museum, where you can learn about the history of the oil industry, key to the development of Stavanger and the country.

Enjoy Stavanger!
