Tour description
Stavanger is one of Norway's most charming cities, famous for Gamle Stavanger – the best-preserved wooden old town in Northern Europe – and as the gateway to the majestic Lysefjord. Transforming from a former fishing town into an oil capital, it blends ancient heritage with modern prosperity. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's historical stories.
You will stroll through the white-painted lanes of the Old Town, wander around the bustling harbor, and admire the medieval cathedral. Along the way, you will hear tales of the herring boom, the oil era, and magnificent fjords. Charming and rich in history, Stavanger is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
