Top 10 Nature & Parks in Stavanger, Western Norway
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.

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!

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.
