Introducing Stavanger

Vibrant Stavanger ends up being many travellers’ favourite city in Norway. With its centre arrayed around a pretty harbour with the quiet streets of the old town climbing up from the water’s edge, it’s a picturesque place. It’s also home to almost two dozen museums. But Stavanger’s appeal is as much about atmosphere as anything else. Most nights, especially in summer, the city’s waterfront comes alive and can get quite rowdy in the best tradition of oil and port cities. By Sunday morning, it’s quiet and charming, for this is a place that has never lost its small-town feel.
