Third leg of your discovery of Southern Norway. Your train journey continues. Take the regular train for a 3-hour ride to the charming town of Stavanger, considered one of the prettiest cities in southern Norway.
Check in at your hotel and explore the city at your own pace. Wander through the picturesque streets of the old town, Gamle Stavanger, which is home to the best-preserved wooden house district in Europe, with over 170 white wooden homes.
Visit the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, a fascinating museum showcasing how offshore operations became Norway’s most important industry. Learn how oil and gas are formed, how marine resources are discovered, and how drilling and production are carried out. The museum offers a variety of interactive activities for children and adults, as well as installations and films.
STAVANGER
Heading to the Fjords!
The city of Stavanger sits at the border between Southern Norway and the fjord region in the West. Today, embark on a 3.5-hour cruise on the Lysefjord, the “fjord of light”. The electric boat sails all year round from Stavanger up to Preikestolen, one of Norway’s top natural attractions, made famous by its appearance in Mission Impossible – Fallout.
Your boat then continues on towards the majestic Hengjanefossen waterfall.
Hiking alternative: If you prefer a sporting activity, take on a hike to the top of Preikestolen. At 604 m altitude, it offers a breathtaking view over the Lysefjord. This 8-kilometre hike is of moderate difficulty and takes about 4 hours, and can replace the cruise.
