About Stavanger:
From the astounding Lysefjord Fjord in the east, to the moody North Sea in the west; from
Sirevåg village in the south, to Tungenes Lighthouse in the north - varied adventures and
unforgettable sights await our visitors. Fjords and mountains, a myriad of islands, beaches
and polished rockfaces, lighthouses, heather-covered hillsides, raging rivers and cascading
waterfalls, golden grain fields, sheep and cows grazing on green pastures, ancient burial
mounds and pulsating city life. Imagine yourself perched on Pulpit Rock, peering down its
sheer 600 metres into the blue-green fjord. Or imagine the waves lifting your surfboard into
a sense of total flow and freedom.
The sea and the earth - these have been the basis for life here ever since the first hunter-
gatherers arrived just after the Ice Age. Thanks to skilled hands and wise heads, they are
still the basis of modern prosperity; fishing and agriculture, shipping, trade and industry.
And culture, mind you - a thriving culture. Rewarding experiences await you. Imagine a
concert under the full moon at Orre, or strolling along the quay in Stavanger during the
Food Festival, listening to the din of the crowd, catching a whiff of salty air, and sampling
traditional food and fresh produce. Or climbing the stairs of Tungenes Lighthouse to face the
open sea beyond the edge of Jæren. Or visiting Svartehola, a nine metre deep grotto,
where our ancestors found shelter, or the 1400 year old Iron Age farm at Ullandhaug.
Or imagine the Viking Age brought back to life all around you. Wander amongst shifting
sand dunes, ramble through forests and heath, catch the silence and scent of green pastures.
Find a calm lake, a winding creek, cast your line and wait for the fish. Visit a greenhouses
where farmers proudly grow their herbs and vegetables, or explore small and varied museums
that each tells a fascinating chapter of our colourful history.
Whether you're travelling for pleasure or are here on business, you are sure to find our region
exciting, invigorating and memorable. For young couples, families or relaxed seniors enjoying
the good life, friends travelling for a weekend, conference or seminar participants - it's easy to
tailor a program of satisfying activities and adventures.
