With about 120,000 people, Stavanger is Norway’s fourth-largest city and a fascinating mix of old and new. Its history stretches back deep into the Middle Ages. Stavanger was once a tranquil coastal market town and then later an important fishing port. But it was the 1969 discovery of oil offshore that forever changed the now bustling city’s fortunes and landscape. The old town, Gamel Stavanger is intact and beautiful consisting of about 250 18th and 19th century wooden homes. In September 2023 we returned to Stavanger by way of the Holland America Neiuw Statendam.
