Experience Details*
Get a real feel for delightful Haugesund by exploring on foot.
Slip into your comfy shoes and step out on an intriguing guided walk around this picturesque town. With a rich heritage of herring fishing and ties dating back to the power base of the Vikings, this community has moved with the times and is now a hub for oil-related business.
Discover the fascinating mix of architectural styles, from jugend and neogothic to neoclassical, as you stroll through the cobbled streets. Take a look inside the pink-coloured town hall, voted one of the most beautiful buildings in Norway for its vibrant, pictorial interior.
There’s an intriguing connection between Haugesund and Marilyn Monroe – can you find it? If not, your guide will happily help you out before your leisurely walk back to your ship.
