Experience Details*
Discover Stavanger – old and new – and enjoy refreshments at a popular restaurant.
Follow your guide on a stroll through the old town, where colourful 18th and 19th century wooden homes line the cobbled lanes. Wander through the market square, back-dropped by Norway’s oldest cathedral, and inhale the aromas of fresh fruit, fish and flowers. Then, look up at Valberg Tower which overlooks the city and was formerly used to spot fires breaking out among the city’s wooden buildings.
During your walk around town, you’ll call in at one of Stavanger’s oldest ‘sea houses’ which is now a popular restaurant. Relax with a cup of tea or coffee and tuck into delicious waffles.
