Overview

On this audio tour through the historical centre of Norway’s fourth largest city, you’ll trace the city’s transformation from a medieval religious center to a canning industry powerhouse and, eventually, the wealthy ”Oil Capital of Norway” we see today.

You’ll walk through the winding streets of Old Stavanger. You’ll see Northern Europe’s best-preserved neighborhood, where 18th and 19th-century buildings and wooden houses reveal the city’s working-class roots.

The tour weaves together tales of herring booms, witchcraft trials, petroleum discoveries, and even connections to American history, showing you how this coastal community at the edge of the North Sea has repeatedly reinvented itself. You’ll also discover its identity as a street art destination, with plenty of pieces by international artists.

By the end of this tour, you’ll have a greater appreciation for a city that has continually adapted, while staying true to its distinctive maritime character and architectural heritage.
