Charming Houses, Cafes and Restaurants along the waterfront in the Harbour in Stavanger, Norway


The North Sea has always been important to Stavanger, Norway's fourth largest city located on the southwest coast of Norway. Fishing, boat building and oil - all are dependent on it. Stavanger was a canning and fishing city in the last century that has turned into the oil capital of Norway. But Stavanger is a lot more than that. Stavanger is Norway's fourth largest city with inhabitants. Nearly 7% have a birthplace other than Norway. Stavanger is often referred to as Norway's largest "small town". Everyone in Stavanger knows someone who knows someone else. But, Stavanger is more cosmopolitan and international than any comparable Norwegian city. Visitors tend to fall in love with Stavanger, especially "Old Stavanger", a very pretty and vibrant part of town. This area, near the international ferries, is composed of small, wooden houses and cobble-stone roads. Combine this with an international atmosphere which is blended with the city's own charm.
