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 spectacular Lysefjord. A former fishing town turned oil capital, it blends heritage with prosperity. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history.
You will wander the white-painted lanes of the old town, stroll the lively harbour, and see the medieval cathedral. Along the way you will hear about the herring boom, the oil era and the fjords. Charming and historic, Stavanger is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
