Introducing Haugesund
The North Sea port of Haugesund lies well off the beaten routes and is rarely visited by travellers. It’s a base for the historically rich Haugelandet region with some interesting sights, while the Haugesund waterfront is lined with wooden buildings and has a real buzz about it in summer. The town also has a busy summer festival calendar.

The area around Haugesund carries huge historical significance for Norwegians. It was in the nearby Hafrsfjord that the decisive battle took place in 872 and Norway was first unified.
