THE REGION: The Stavanger region includes 16 municipalitites. With a population of more than 330.000 it is the third largest city region in Norway. The distance from mountains to fjords is short. The region offers wide-stretched beaches as far as the eye can see, colourful culture and spectacular culinary highlights. A short journey out of the city will take you to the world-famous tourist brochure sights such as Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), Kjeragbolten and to the many stunning fjords in the area. - Maybe you have to stay an extra day?
