Stavanger Top Attractions

• Pulpit Rock is one of the most visited attractions, and should not be missed on your holiday to Stavanger. To visit this well-photographed fjord formation, take one of the organised bus trips, or by car you can enjoy the scenic route. It’s worth it, it’s been voted as one of the world’s most spectacular views.
• Another of the famous must-see fjords in the Stavanger region is Lysefjorden. This fjord is 42 kilometres long, with rock formations that fall vertically over 1000 metres into the water. Hikers should be keen to try this route, as there are marked trails along both sides of the water.
• Just outside of Stavanger is Norway’s best preserved monastery, Utstein. Built in 1200, it was originally a royal residence. Nowadays, concerts are held in the chapel, and many famous musicians have performed here.
