<p>The best time to visit Stavanger is <strong>between May and September</strong> . In winter and early spring, the surrounding trails may be covered with snow, and there is little going on in the city.</p>

When to visit Stavanger?

<p>Stavanger is best explored on foot or by bike. A good landmark from which you can start your trip is the lake Breiavatnet, located in the center.</p><h3> Stavanger Cathedral </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/norwegia/stavanger/stavanger-cathedral.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Stavanger" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Domkirke, Stavanger, Norway - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The oldest Norwegian cathedral (Domkirke). Built in the Romanesque style around 1125, expanded over a hundred years later in the Gothic style. Since then, it has only undergone minor reconstructions and repairs, so it remains the best-preserved medieval church in Norway.</p><h3> Old Stavanger </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/norwegia/stavanger/stavanger-8.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Stavanger" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Stavanger, Norway - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The historic part of the city, the only one that was not rebuilt after World War II. A walk along the cobbled streets among white wooden houses with colorful doors will take you back to the times when Stavanger was a cozy fishing village. The trip will be enriched by a visit to the Canning Museum (Norsk Hermetikkmuseet), where you will learn about the traditional process of canning sardines - from soaking in brine, through smoking, to packaging. During the peak season <strong>, the ticket price includes tasting of smoked sardines</strong> on site.</p><h3> Petroleum Museum </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/norwegia/stavanger/stavanger-petroleum-museum.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Stavanger" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Petroleum Museum, Stavanger, Norway - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The museum looks like a small oil platform. Interactive exhibitions and exhibits present the history of the oil industry, explain how gas and oil are produced, how they are extracted and what they are used for. The information is provided in an easy and accessible way, <strong>also attractive to children</strong> .</p><h3> Three Swords Monument </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/norwegia/stavanger/stavanger-mollebukta.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Stavanger" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Three Swords Monument, Stavanger, Norway - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Three giant Viking swords stuck in a rock (Sverd and Fjell). This <strong>unusual monument</strong> is located a little further from the city center, near Hafrsfjord. It was created to commemorate the first unification of Norway during the reign of Harald I Fairhair.</p>

What to see in Stavanger?

<p>From mid-April to the end of August, there is a festival almost every month in Stavanger. On summer evenings, the port area pulsates with life. As befits a university town, there is no shortage <strong>of hipster bars and clubs with live music</strong> .</p><h3> Checkpoint Charlie</h3><p> Rock atmosphere, raw interior and good beer. Parties hosted by DJs, but also live music (Nedre Strandgate 5).</p><h3> Cementen</h3><p> A local favorite at Strandkaien 24, open seven days a week. Relaxed atmosphere and good music to move on the dance floor.</p><h3> Folken</h3><p> Folken is the center of Stavanger student life. One of Norway&#39;s best concert stages and the perfect place to feel the city&#39;s party atmosphere. You can use Wi-Fi for free in the bar and cafe upstairs.</p><h3> Café Sting</h3><p> A cozy cafe, serving tasty dishes at reasonable prices and a selection of wines. From the terrace there is a view of the entire Stavanger. In a small club in the basement there are intimate live concerts (Valberget 3).</p><h3> Cardinal Pub</h3><p> Cardinal Pub at Skagen 21 is a paradise for beer lovers with a fat wallet - the largest selection of brewed and bottled beer in the city. It&#39;s worth visiting, although the prices are prohibitive.</p>

Nightlife in Stavanger

<h3>Desktop Rock</h3><p> Stavanger is an excellent base for trips around the Lysefjord. The biggest <strong>attraction of the region is undoubtedly Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock),</strong> a table-flat rock rising over 600 m above the Lysefjord. This is where the famous photos of feet hanging over a precipice are taken, although to decide to take such a shot you really have to have nerves of steel. </p><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/norwegia/stavanger/stavanger-6.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Stavanger" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Preikestolen, Stavanger, Norway - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> It will take an average hiker about 2 hours to reach its peak. The trail is rocky, often steep, and its last part runs right over an abyss, but the view from the top rewards all the hardships of the hike.</p><h3> How to get to Preikostelen?</h3><p> From Stavanger to Preikestolen, it is best to take a ferry via Tau and then take a bus that will take you to the very beginning of the trail, to the Preikestolhytta Fjellstue &amp; Vendrerhjem shelter. There is also a parking lot for cars here.</p>

myhregaarden_hotel-stavanger-myhregaarden.jpg

A boutique hotel in the very center of the city, just a few minutes&#39; walk from the Breiavatnet lake. A nice option for traveling couples, tasty breakfasts and friendly service. The downside was the lack of air conditioning in our room.

Myhregaarden Hotel

sandnes_vandrerhjem-stavanger-sandnes.jpg

Nice hostel with free parking. A good base for Preikestolen. The price is also okay by Norwegian standards. Free coffee and tea available all day (once there were also waffles with jam). Bed linen and towels are included in the price, so you don&#39;t have to bring your own.

Sandnes Vandrerhjem

scandic_stavanger_city-33443731.jpg

You can take a bus from the airport to the hotel. It is possible to rent a bicycle for free on site. The hotel itself was clean and well-kept, large rooms, fast, free wifi and really tasty breakfasts. Perfect for a trip to Preikestolen - the ferry to Tau leaves from the pier opposite the hotel.

Scandic Stavanger City

stavanger_st_svithun_vandrerhjem-stavanger-vandrerhejm.jpg

Small but neat and clean rooms. Basic equipment - there was no hairdryer or refrigerator, probably not all rooms are air-conditioned. Far from the center (about 30 minutes walk), but cheap, so there&#39;s nothing to complain about.
