Activity itinerary

Norwegian Petroleum Museum
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Norwegian Petroleum Museum was designed by the architectural firm of Lunde & Løvseth Arkitekter A/S and was opened on 20 May 1999. Seen from the sea the museum looks like a small oil platform. The unusual architecture has made the museum a landmark in the Port of Stavanger. The museum was built in stone, glass, and concrete and covers approximately 5,000 square metres. The museum focuses on offshore petroleum activity, especially in the North Sea. Original objects, models, films and interactive exhibits convey the history of oil operations on the Norwegian continental shelf. The museum shows the technological development from the beginning of the Norwegian oil history in the mid-1960s, from the first North Sea drilling platforms, through steel and concrete platforms developed and built in Norway, to modern, flexible production ships and subsea systems.
Ovre Holmegate
  • 30m
A colourful street in the centre of Stavanger where all buildings have been painted in fresh and vibrant colours. This is perhaps the most colourful street in all of Norway, and is often referred to as Stavanger's 'Notting Hill'. The area experienced a renaissance in 2005 when hairdresser Tom Kjørsvik envisaged doing something totally unique with it. All the houses along the street were painted in different hues, in accordance with a colour scheme suggested by the artist Craig Flannagan. As you wander along Øvre Holmegate, you will find several niche shops as well as charming cafes and pubs.
Valbergtarnet
  • 30m
Another of Stavanger's well preserved older buildings, Valberget, can be found to the north of Market Square between Vågen and Østre Havn (East Harbour). Located in the Holmen peninsula, the oldest part of the town, Valberget is a watchtower built in 1853 on the highest point in the city. It was the home of the watchman, whose job it was to alert everyone when there was a fire. Today, it offers great views, and a little museum is on the ground floor.
Stavanger Cathedral
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Located in the city centre, Stavanger Cathedral was built in the 12th century by Englishman Reginald of Worcester (later known as Bishop Reinald) as a three-aisle Romanesque basilica. The choir was rebuilt in the Gothic style after a fire in 1272, and the whole church was renovated in the 19th century. Notable interior features include the richly carved Baroque pulpit (1658), a stone font of the Gothic period, and the stained glass in the east window depicting New Testament scenes.
Gamle Stavanger
  • 30m
One of the most picturesque areas of the city is Gamle Stavanger, a historic area where a collection of quaint older homes lie along meandering stone-paved streets. This is, in fact, the largest surviving wooden house settlement in northern Europe. Its streets are well worth exploring, as are its galleries and museums.
Ledaal
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Built as a summer residence for the Kielland family in 1799, Ledaal House is a perfectly preserved example of how Norway's elite lived in the early 19th century. The richly furnished mansion still functions as a royal residence, as well as a museum, and the entire property is owned by the state in trust. Its historic gardens are well worth seeing and are connected to three others via a historic garden trail.
