General presentation

Stavanger et Lysefjord

White houses, oil history and cliffs of Lysefjord make up a stay between harbour culture and hiking.

The discovery of Stavanger and Lysefjord is based on Preikestolen, Norwegian Petroleum Museum and Gamle Stavanger. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, coastline and mountain reliefs, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.
