The city of Stavanger, Norway is the 4th largest city in the country. We got the opportunity to visit the city a few times. It is both a historical and modern city. Many oil companies call Stavanger home because of all the oil fields in the area.
Stavanger is also a tourist destination. There are many museums to explore. Old Stavanger and the Stavanger Cathedral are "Must Visit" spots. The city is a port of call on many cruise itineraries.
For hikers, Stavanger makes for a wonderful place to stay. Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) is very close by. Kjeragbolten is further away, but still accessible from Stavanger. read more
