Unless you're Scandinavian,
you probably haven't heard of Stavanger, Norway. But it's a charming town,
surrounded by spectacular scenery.
| The base for Norway's North
Sea oil operations, Stavanger is a prosperous place that was the European
Capital of Culture (ECC), along with Liverpool, England, in 2008. That
designation brought more travelers to Stavanger, and many facilities were
improved so that the city would live up to expectations.
There's a quaint old harbor
with plenty of restaurants, and several interesting churches and museums
worth visiting. Come during the summer months, as many attractions are
closed in winter.
The Domkirke, which dates
from 1125, is the most impressive church in Stavanger. A fire destroyed
much of it in 1272. But it was rebuilt with Gothic-style twin towers. A
renovation that took place between 1938 and 1942 brought the church back
to the way it looked in medieval times. |

Don't miss the wooden pulpit
which is carved with stories from the Old Testament. The ornate canopy
overhead shows scenes from Christ's life. And the columns are decorated
with Norse griffins and dragons.

History buffs will enjoy
the five different collections that make up the Stavanger Museum. The combined
admission ticket includes entrance to a neoclassical house that is the
Stavanger residence of the Norwegian Royal Family, a restored 1881 Victorian
home, and maritime, canning, and natural history museums.
Gamle Stavanger is a must-see
if you visit Stavanger. It has Scandinavia's biggest collection of 18th-
and 19th-century wooden houses. More than 170 of them have been restored
and now form a pretty town with cobblestone streets, flower boxes, and
gas lamps. The buildings are owned by private citizens and the city of
Stavanger. A trip here is like traveling back in time.
