In a nutshell
Visitors love the qauinness of the white timber houses in the medeavel centre.
28 Reviews The walk to Preikestolen is a must! I’ve made this walk several times since coming to live in Stavanger and hope to do it at least one more time before I leave. The walk and climb to Priekestolen is enjoyable in itself - there are some impressive views on the way up looking back towards Stavanger....
10 Reviews The cathedral is placed right in the middle of the town, between the main harbour and Breiavatnet . The Norway's oldest cathedral was built around 1125 and dedicated to St. Svithun. It is the only Norwegian cathedral from the Middle Ages that has retained its original appearance and been in constant...
11 Reviews You can't leave Stavanger without to see the Gamle Stavanger, the ancient Stavanger. This is the oldest side of the town and you can see many old white wooden houses built in the 18th century with small streets with rocks. To make a walk in this part of the town is like to come back to the time in...
4 Reviews Møllebukta in Hafrsfjord is a popular beach. The fjord is shallow with a narrow opening into the ocean, which means that bathing temperatures are often higher here than on the Jæren beaches. And I must admit I prefer sunbathing on grass rather than on sand! A part of the beach is reserved for...
12 Reviews The Norwegian Petroleum Museum shows its interesting face starting from its architecture. It is said that there is hardly a building in Norway that signals its function as obviously as the Oil Museum. And when you'll see it you'll know it is right. Insight, the museum offers a complete image of the...
Lysenfjorden - Not pulpit or kjærag
4 Reviews There are two boat companies in Stavanger offering sightseeing trips down the Lysefjord. We have been with Rodne boats, which leave from the central harbour area in Stavanger (not far from the Skagen Brygge Hotel). It’s possible to book seats (advisable during the summer months) or you can turn up...
3 Reviews It was allways a nice to find over the corner a nice statue having the roots in the old stories of the city. I will post here some photos with the statues I love. They are so real and they are making from Stavanger a warm city. They make you feel at home even if you are thousands kilometers away...
2 Reviews This year (2010) we've been very lucky to visit two beautiful gardens - Keukenhof in Holland and Flor&Fjaere in Norway. In order to visit Flor&Fjaere you have to book a boat trip from Stavanger; if possible on a sunny day:). A nice 20 minutes boat trip and you are on Sør-Hidle island. The trip is...

3 Reviews Of the several chinese restaurants in Stavanger, Sze Chuen House is our favourite! The food is cheap and good, nice ambient and the service is OK. Close to downtown Stavanger. Eat in or take away. In addition to food from the Sze Chuen province, they have dishes from northern China as well as Dim...
2 Reviews Nice ambience, especially the "back room" with armchairs and a TV set, where you can relax with your coffee after the meal. The walls are covered with egyptian pictures, and the chairs in the dining area are genuinly african (according to my friend whom I was dining with, who is from Eritrea). The...
1 Review Why not participate in a Carnival? At that time (1984) ,Stavanger arranged great street parades. How it is today, I would not know, but comparing it to Rio, Trinidad or Venedig would be overrating the event.
6 Reviews The best and cheapest way to travel around is by bus and Kolumbus is the company covering very well all the area. If you have in mind to remain here for at least a week, ask for a "Flexi pas". For a month it cost about 630 NOK (this is about 70 euro) but you can use it everywhere, including for the...
5 Reviews Long distance trains to Kristiansand and Oslo three times a day + overnight. Regional service to Kristiansand twice a day. Local train to Egersund every hour between 05:16 and 23:16 + 23:46, and a couple of extra during rush hours. Loocal train to Nærbø every half hour between 05:16 and...
Silversmith on the silver mountain
1 Review This is a nice little goldsmith store. Most jewelry stores here in Stavanger only sell pre-made stuff so you find more or less the same in every store. But in this store you can find special stuff that is not worn by everyone. And you can get thing made. Well, I guess you can't claim that Norway is...
Fresh Fish, Shellfish, Crabs and Shrimp
1 Review Available at the dock between the oil museum and the huge parking garage. Get there early if you want to buy crabs because they never last! One of the best benefits of living by the sea is the easy access to the fruits of the sea. There's nothing like fresh seafood and shellfish on a cold and gray...
1 Review Around Christmastime in Norway, my Norwegian family took me out to eat lutefisk in a restaurant. They said it was a fish-speciality that you usually only have about once a year. Whereas my host mother was quite keen on it, my little host-sister already indicated with grimaces what she thought of it....
2 Reviews If you'll have a nice, sunny day in Stavanger and you want to have an half day trip, Dalsnuten may be a good option. You have a lot of ways to go there, by car until Gramstad or by bus from Stavanger to Sandnes (no. 2 or 3) and from Sandnes no. 18 to Dale or Gramstad. From any of those places...
2 Reviews If you are looking for an idyllic and peaceful beach, then this is the right place! We adore walking there in every sunny day! The easiest way to get there is to take no 4A or 4B bus to Rosenli (this is the last stop on route) and then walk to the fjord.
3 Reviews We where not in Stavanger but we make a great walk to.. Preikestolen.towering 604 m above the Lysefjord .is by far the best know tourist attraction in the Ryfylke region.The platau at the top.wich measures about 25 *25m, was most likely formed by successive periods of 10.000 years ago.The clim to...

Send an SMS from your mobile phone to 04005 with the code word WIFI and your mobile number, you will be sent a password. then choose the wireless network named Bynett, write your password and you're online.
