Gamle Stavanger
Gamle Stavanger, also known as Straen, is the largest surviving wooden
house settlement in northern Europe. It is a beautiful area of little
wooden houses and cobbled streets along the west side of the harbour -
just where the cruise ships moor during the summer. |

Nearly
all the houses are white (only a few are allowed to be another colour) and
they vary in age from less than 100 to about 300 years. The houses are lived
in and most are privately owned. There are little play areas, bench seats here and there. In the small park at the southwest corner, near the Straen centre are some sculptures. This is in central Stavanger. Walk from the fish market around the harbour clockwise taking any of the streets on the left up into Gamle Stavanger. Extend the walk further to the north and visit Bjergsted Park, or visit the Hermetikk museum. Walk around the harbours on the Blue Promenade, or browse the shopping and restaurant areas on the other side of the harbour Map reference: Kartblad 1212IV Stavanger 3117 65417 Parking: Central carparks Essentials: Hotels in the Stavanger area Restaurants in the Stavanger area Bars and cafes in the Stavanger area Distance from Stavanger: 0km |
