Essential information
This is an unguided flexible option for those wishing to explore independently. There's a considerable amount of walking and guests have to walk across the bridge to get to the city centre. Guests can choose 2 out 3 museums, not all 3. The 3 museums are not in the same location, but around 20 minutes (walking) from each other. Please note the museum opening times vary and suggest you plan your time accordingly: Karmsund folkemuseum - 11:00-15:00. Haugesund billedgalleri - 11:00-15:00. Dokken Museum - 10:00-14:00. Museum times are subject to change. We recommend you take a bottle of water, wear comfortable walking shoes, and dress for the weather. Tickets are non-refundable.
