The 6 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Stavanger, Western Norway

August 24, 2021 Etsuko Causey

With about 120,000 people, Stavanger is Norway’s fourth-largest city and a fascinating mix of old and new. Its history stretches back deep into the Middle Ages. Stavanger was once a tranquil coastal market town and then later an important fishing port. But it was the 1969 discovery of oil offshore that forever changed the now bustling city’s fortunes and landscape. Don’t miss the well-preserved old town (Gamle Stavanger), the unique Canning Museum or the 12th-century Stavanger Cathedral.

We have heared about Flor og Fjær many time through friends bit never had time or opportunity to visit this beautiful garden. It is unnelieveable! The gardner took us through the garden expaining various aspects of the garden. He let us enjoy the garden as children and completely letting us enjoy it. The whole garden enjoyment topped with a superb meal introduced by chef Andre! Superb presentation! Thank you. We got the opportunity to enjoy the dessert and coffee wherwever we felt like sitting down and enjoying the pure beauty of the Eden! Endre the gardner’s son i would politely call him :) made is believe that everyone can create something magical. Thank you so much for the presentation!!! We certainly come back soon!

Valandstarnet

Reviewed By tonyhoyen25 - Stavanger, Norway

This view is the best and accessible by car- just park by the nursery. Great site for New years fire works- though be warned ..there are many many people there on New years Eve and some areas are closed at the top.On some sundays they have a cafe in the afternoon.

Torget

Reviewed By JanaZC - Prague, Czech Republic

This square is a bit unusual as it slopes from the cathedral to the harbour. It is covered with granite slabs. After darkness fishes, leaves and snow crystals are some of the patterns that light up the square. There are different filters in the light boxes along the square that allow different lighting at different times and occasions. There are many restaurants here and one can see the boats in the harbour from here.
