2025 Stavanger Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

It was a short weekend getaway to Stavanger, Norway. We started our weekend in Stavanger with a visit to the Old Town (Gamle Stavanger), a charming area with narrow cobblestone streets and well-preserved wooden houses dating back to the 18th century. Walking through this quaint neighborhood felt like stepping back in time, and we highly recommend stopping by the Norwegian Canning Museum to learn about the city’s unique sardine canning history. The museum’s interactive displays and friendly staff make it a fun experience for all ages. 🙌🙌🙌 📍Gamle Stavanger, 4005 Stavanger, Norway For lunch, we headed to Fisketorget (Fish Market), a vibrant spot by the harbor where you can enjoy fresh seafood dishes. We indulged in the fish soup 🍲 and a plate of steamed mussels. The food was incredibly fresh, and the view of the bustling harbor made it a memorable dining experience. I would recommend this place for seafood lovers 😍 📍Strandkaien 37, 4005 Stavanger, Norway 💰200 NOK We also explored the Stavanger Cathedral (Stavanger Domkirke), Norway’s oldest cathedral dating back to the 12th century. The intricate wood carvings and stunning stained glass windows were truly captivating. I suggest spending some time in the peaceful garden surrounding the cathedral, a great spot to relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere. 📍Haakon VIIs gate 2, 4005 Stavanger, Norway We ended our first day with a stroll around Breiavatnet Lake, a lovely spot in the city center, perfect for an evening walk. The calm waters and surrounding greenery were a perfect way to wind down after a day of exploration. 📍Breiavatnet, 4005 Stavanger, Norway We then took an early morning ferry to Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), one of Norway's most famous natural landmarks. The hike up to the rock took us about 2 hours each way, and it was definitely challenging, but the panoramic view from the top made every step worthwhile. If you're up for an adventure, I highly recommend bringing some snacks and water for the hike 🏔️ and wearing sturdy hiking boots. It’s an experience you won’t forget. After our hike, we returned to Stavanger and treated ourselves to a hearty meal at Renaa Matbaren. The restaurant offers a modern take on Norwegian cuisine, and we loved the reindeer fillet and the cod with root vegetables 🥗 The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day outdoors. 📍Breitorget 6, 4006 Stavanger, Norway 💰400NOK We also visited the Norwegian Petroleum Museum to understand Stavanger's significant role in the oil industry. The museum’s exhibits are fascinating and interactive, offering a deep dive into Norway's oil exploration history. I would recommend this museum for anyone interested in technology or history. 📍Kjeringholmen 1A, 4006 Stavanger, Norway #weekendgetaways #Vacation #trip

Bryggen is located in the eastern part of the harbor. In the mid-14th century, many merchants from northern Germany operated the cod trade here, and the prosperity was unprecedented. The pier wooden house was once the liaison office of Norway's underground organization fighting against the German Nazis. The century-old building has witnessed the vicissitudes of history. ✔️Sognefjord: Norway’s longer and deeper fjord, stretching from the coast north of Bergen to the mountainous Jotunheimen National Park and the glacier-lined Josdabrian National Park.

If you ask me which Nordic country is the most worth visiting, it must be Norway, known as the 'Lonely Planet'. In Norway, 'people who meet will meet again' Going to Norway was originally planned for hiking and fjords, but unexpectedly, I was shocked by the fairy-tale-like dreamy beauty along the way and successfully took the cable car At the top of the mountain, I saw the pink sky and chased whales to the Arctic Circle, and waited for the aurora by the lake The snow scenery ceiling is definitely worth a look, the aftereffect is really strong Here are a few spots I think are very worth visiting: Stavanger: Although it is an old town and quite small, I personally really like the colorful streets here Fargegaten, the colorful little houses are really like a fairy tale world, and there are many museums Bergen: Strongly recommend taking the Snow Country Train, whether it's a miniature of Norway or the direct Oslo-Bergen train, the scenery on both sides is beautiful, we were lucky that day to see 'Altocumulus lenticularis' and the sunset glow was absolutely stunning Flåm Mountain Railway: Along the way, you will see waterfalls flying down from the sky, mountain streams, ribbon-like clouds, deep canyons and Norwegian forests, the huge drop brings breathtaking scenery, condensing the beauty of Norway's fjords, each frame is like a postcard Sognefjord: Norway's longest and deepest fjord, taking a cruise through it, the towering mountains on both sides and the emerald green water surface complement each other, it's incredibly beautiful, there are also three other fjords that I think are also worth visiting Trollstigen: The winding road twists and turns up along the cliff, with 11 sharp turns, known as one of the 12 most dangerous roads in the world, be sure to pay attention to safety if you go!!! This is my 7-day itinerary, I feel like I haven't seen enough and I will come back next time Day1 Oslo departure - Heddal Stave Church - Hardangervidda National Park - Stavanger Day2 Stavanger - Lysefjord - Preikestolen Day3 Bergen - Mount Fløyen - Bryggen Old Town - Fish Market Day4 Voss - Flåm - Sogndal Day5 Briksdal Glacier - Geirangerfjord Day6 Atlantic Road - Trollstigen - Atlantic Ocean Road - Finnøy Day7 Ålesund - Oslo

One of the three classic trails in Norway, it is 4 kilometers long and more than 600 meters above sea level. It offers a beautiful view of the Lysefjord. It is a square boulder protruding from the northwest of the fjord. It takes 2.5 hours for a single trip and at least 4.5 hours for a round trip. If you are lucky, you can take great photos. Although we did not encounter any rain during this trip, it was a gift from God, allowing us to climb the boulder smoothly. The short sunny days that were sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy made it impossible to take great photos. Beautiful photo, that's the only flaw!

Lille Mosvatnet is a picturesque lake located in Stavanger, Norway. ➡️It is located in southwestern Norway🇳🇴 ➡️It is a relatively small lake, about 0.15 square kilometers ➡️It is praised for its beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere.

Stavanger is Norway's fourth largest city and the administrative center of Rogaland County, with a population of nearly 150,000. It is located on the Stavanger Peninsula in southwestern Norway. The Stavanger Cathedral was completed in 1125, the same year Stavanger was officially recognized as a city. Stavanger's historic city centre has many protected wooden houses built in the 18th and 19th centuries and are considered part of the city's cultural heritage. This has resulted in the city centre and inner city retaining a small-town character with an unusually high proportion of detached houses, and has significantly contributed to the spread of urban population growth to the outer areas of Greater Stavanger. The city's population grew rapidly in the late 20th century due to the booming Norwegian offshore oil industry. Today, the oil industry is an important industry in the Stavanger region, and the city is widely known as Norway's oil capital. Headquartered in Stavanger, Equinor is Norway's largest company in the Nordic region. Several higher education institutions are also located in Stavanger, including the largest University of Stavanger. Both domestic and international military facilities are located in Stavanger, including NATO's Joint Operations Center. Other international institutions, especially local branches of foreign oil and gas companies, further contribute to the city's large foreign population. #Overseas travel #Norway travel #Norway tourism #Norway scenery #I miss Norway so much #City #City center

It was towards the end of October and I was coming from a Travel Conference in Copenhagen and I took the opportunity to fly further north to Stavanger to get the chance to unwind and explore like a stranger in an unfamiliar place. Stavanger is a city in southwestern Norway. It is about a little more than an hour flight from Kastrup (CPH) in Copenhagen to Stavanger Sola (SVG) in Norway. Travel was short and easy, but it is an altogether different environment that will greet you compared to the Copenhagen. Stavanger is the third-largest city and one of the oldest settlements in Norway. Its many museums feature everything from sardines to Vikings and its Old Town boasts 173 restored wooden buildings. The quaint, small white cottages are enhanced by beautiful gardens and cobblestone streets. The best thing about Stavanger is its walkability. I spent most of the 2 day stay I had walking and admiring its natural charm #celebratewithtrip

#CityTrip #Norway #Stavanger #OldStavanger Stavanger is a city where travelers gather for Preikestolen and Sjörakbolten trekking. Many people just go for trekking. I traveled Norway alone before, but this time I went with my mother. In Stavanger, there is a town with white wooden houses like in the picture, called Old Town. This town, where fishing was the main industry since the old days, is an attractive city with a unified white residential area. You should stop by once~~ #CityTrip

There are three wonderful rocks in Norway, all three of which are very famous hiking routes. Among them, the Miracle Stone destination has to cross a total of three big hills to reach, most of the way up the mountain to borrow strength by hand, and there are also some locations in the middle that are very sloping, be sure to pull the rope on the side. In fact, not only did you walk to the end to see the strange stone that it was spectacular, the scenery along the way was beautiful like a painting, as if you were watching national geographic live version. While walking while having the beautiful scenery slowly enjoy, no matter how difficult and tired the walk is worth it ❤️ #coolest travel experience #travel inspiration #nature wonders #hiking #kjeragbolten #norway #travel abroad

The walk to the Kjeragbolten miracle stone is not very far, more than 5 kilometers one way, about 12 kilometers back and forth. There are three main slopes to climb, and the third slope is a slightly flat mountain road, and the miracle stone is there. In general, it takes 6-8 hours for everyone to take this hiking route, and very experienced people can finish it in about 5 hours. I just took a few steps, I am embarrassed; I thought I had some hiking experience, although I have not been to any dangerous mountains, but the California coastline, Santorini coastline, Rocky Mountain Banff The Inca Trail has also passed. However, the road here is really good. If the routes that have been passed before the categorization are from the kindergarten to the upper grades of the primary school, the Norwegian road is at the high school level. Although I have seen other people's travel notes before departure, it is another matter to stand here. After all~ When you concentrate on walking, you won't take photos; and the scenes that the pictures can display are limited, and the scope of the human eye will be wider. After a hard climb, I finally got a smog when I arrived at the Miracle Stone. I looked at the stone for 5 minutes and stared at the wet surface. I have already previewed the image of my foot slipping abyss five times in my mind. My heart thumps and jumps, it is a bit scary! But if I don't step on the stone, I will leave like this. I am also 10,000 unwilling. Finally, the psychological construction has finally stepped on. Really standing on the top is not afraid.

#cityplaybook #cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides Stavanger was an unexpected treasure—equal parts rugged nature and vibrant urban life. Nestled along Norway’s southwest coast, this charming city became my perfect base for both cultural immersion and fjord exploration. My adventure began in the Old Town (Gamle Stavanger)—a cobbled maze of over 170 white wooden houses from the 18th century. It felt like stepping into a postcard. The air was crisp, scented with sea salt and blooming flowers from window boxes. Locals were warm and always ready with a smile, adding to the cozy atmosphere. But what really moved me was Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). A short ferry and hike from the city, this towering cliff offers panoramic views of Lysefjord—a glassy ribbon of blue flanked by dramatic peaks. Standing at the edge, 600 meters above the water, time stopped. That moment of awe will stay with me forever. Back in the city, I was captivated by Stavanger’s creative energy. NuArt Street Art Festival has left its mark—literally—on buildings throughout the city, turning alleys into open-air galleries. I also loved exploring the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, surprisingly fascinating, and the Stavanger Art Museum, which showcases both modern and classic Nordic works. Foodies won’t be disappointed here. I indulged in fresh seafood at the harbor, sampling buttery scallops and the best fish soup I’ve ever had. For a quick treat, I grabbed warm cinnamon buns from a local bakery near the fish market. Best Time to Visit: May to September – when the weather is mild and fjord cruises are in full swing. Helpful Tips: Wear sturdy shoes for hikes like Preikestolen. Use local ferries to explore nearby fjords and islands. Don’t skip the harborfront at sunset—it’s pure magic. Rent a bike to explore hidden parts of the city.

Sunlight filters through the faded stained-glass windows of the Pietà, casting blue-green spots of light on the gray-white stone walls. Climb the 197 spiral stone steps to the top of the North Tower, where the container terminal on the Weser River collides with the white wooden houses of the old town in the field of vision, as if time and space are folded here.
