What to do and see in Stavanger, Western Norway: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers
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 signed up without any of us ever having participated in a 'Escape Room' before. Safe to say, we were pleasantly surprised! We were met by a host who was super enthusiastic and welcoming, and who explained what we were doing very well. We completed the Chernobyl room which was filled with puzzles and logic games that tested your mind (and spirit!). All in all, I cannot recommend this event enough. I should also add that we felt very safe while being there with regards to covid.

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.
