I am a huge fan of bookstores in Norway. Unlike in the US, you can find one on every block and they…read moreare huge. They always have an English section which is where I headed in this store to find a book by Karin Fossum that isn't going to be available in the US until August of 2013.

They have a great selection of postcards and other trinkets. I was very surprised by the game selection in this store. A fun place to browse for sure!

Cute cafe along Fargegaten, The Street of Colors…read more When a local Stavanger hairdresser wanted to infuse a pop of color into this street who knew that he would create a tourist attraction?

The bar has plant-themed wallpaper and both fake and real plants scattered about the bar. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating available.

If you want to play games and drink beer in Stavanger, then I think Bøker og Børst is the place!
