Rogaland is a region in southwestern Norway where deep fjords, endless sandy beaches, and Viking history intertwine. Stavanger, the region’s capital, is Norway’s fourth-largest city. It serves as the hub of the country’s oil industry. Stavanger was named the European Capital of Culture in 2008.
Rogaland’s most iconic landmark is undoubtedly Preikestolen. Rising 604 meters above the Lysefjord, this flat rock platform is one of the world’s most breathtaking viewpoints. You can join a 3-hour tour to the Lysefjord from the Stavanger harbor aboard Rødne Fjord Cruise’s electric boat.
Gamle Stavanger in the city center, however, has a completely different atmosphere. As you walk along the cobblestone streets of this neighborhood lined with 18th-century white wooden houses, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. This neighborhood is recognized as one of Europe’s best-preserved wooden urban landscapes. Right across from the harbor lies the colorful Øvre Holmegate. With every building painted a different color, this street is the most vibrant expression of Stavanger’s creative spirit.
Rogaland is Norway’s culinary capital. The region is home to nine Michelin-starred restaurants. The city’s street food is just as enticing. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy fresh shrimp at the seafood restaurants surrounding the harbor.
