7 Things to do Adventurous in Stavanger That You Shouldn't Miss

May 4, 2022 Toi Mattera

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.

GOSTA, Go Stavanger

"Boat life – it is pure bliss. For few people, there's nothing like a day on the water with friends and family, relaxing with the sun shining and cold beverages but for me boats have been a part of my life for last 32 years not only for leisure but for my daily travel. Yes, I grew up in an island. When I was a kid, I always dreamed about going to far-off places in that boat and with those dreams in my eyes, with my passion for boats and love for travel, is what gave birth to Gosta in 2017.

Lysefjord

Reviewed By drm1958 - Exeter, United Kingdom

A great cruise out from Stavanger along the Lysefjord to view the Pulpit Rock. A lovely modern boat, purpose designed to make the most of this experience, lots of viewing deck space accompanied by warm enclosed cabins if the weather is inclement. The Pulpit Rock has its own story and is magnificent to see from below, I might just climb up there one day! Our cruise included a stop for waffles, sour cream and jam at one of the most inaccessible places on the fjord, great fun! The scenery is simply stunning, totally off the scale in any language. If you only have a short day in Stavanger and want to see the fjords then take this trip. Everything is weather dependent everywhere so be prepared for that, otherwise, just enjoy.
