Stavanger
Stavanger is a charming port city on Norway's south-western coast, in Rogaland county. It is known for a rich history tied to fishing, especially sprat catches, and to the canning industry. In Gamle Stavanger you can visit the Norsk Hermetikkmuseum, a reminder of that sector's heyday. The city takes pride in its 12th-century Romanesque cathedral and the 18th-century Ledaal manor. The temperate climate, with mild winters and cool summers, makes it a good destination from spring through autumn.
