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.

Social Cooking wishes to gather people to share great moments, get to know each other and learn to cook a variety of meals and dishes, from homemade bread and cheese, to gourmet dishes and other delicious cuisines that requires advanced techniques.

I have joined a number of classes organised by SocialCooking ever since they started. The events cover a wide-range of cuisines from all over the world - taught by people who are not just good at cooking, but also knowledgeable about the culture and history behind the food! From my experience,it doesn't matter if you don't speak Norwegian, as the instructors usually can speak English. You can choose to go alone or with a companion, it is always fun and social!

"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.

A Dynamic Museum for a Dynamic IndustryNorwegian Petroleum Museum is a museum for everyone. Its exhibits explain how oil and gas are created, disovered and produced, and what they are used for. The museum also provides informastion about technological advances and the way petroleum influences Norwegian society. Original objects, models, films and interactive exhibits illustrate everything from everyday life offshore to technology and dramatic incidents. The curious cat Petro serves as a guide through the museum's science centre.The museum was designed by architects Lunde & Løvseth, and is an attraction in itself. Its architecture is a scenographic interpretation of the Norwegian bedrock, the open coastal landscape and the offshore oil installations. Architechtural reviews have said that there is hardly a building in Norway which signals its function as obviously as the Norwegian Petroleum Museum. The museum was opened in 1999.
An absolut worthy venue to spend some hours if you are in Stavanger. A historical journey through the oil exploration in Norway and Scandinavia, which shows the troubled road from the very first endeavours to today modern platforms. Amazing setup, with show rooms and videos, even things you can try on your own, so live and near that you almost feel being there for real.
