In 1125, the majestic Stavanger Cathedral was completed, marking the birth of a significant city. Stavanger has weathered numerous economic ebbs and surges, its fortunes spun on the wheels of shipping, shipbuilding, and fishing. But it was the discovery of oil in the 1960s that truly clinched its prosperity, earning it the nickname: 'The Oil Capital of Norway'. As the seat of the energy behemoth Equinor, and host to the Offshore Northern Seas (ONS) exhibition and conference, the heartbeat of Norway's oil industry is echoed in its streets.

The fingerprints of the city's robust history are evident in its cultural richness and educational affinity. Home to the University of Stavanger and a multitude of immigrant communities, Stavanger is consistently ranked high for its liveability factor. Its reputation was furthered as it was crowned the European Capital of Culture in 2008 alongside Liverpool, proof of its outstanding blend of historical depth and modern vibrancy.

When to visit Stavanger

Chasing the flirtation of the summer sun, many choose to visit Stavanger in July and August when the city is bathed in pleasing warmth. However, its tempered maritime climate ensures that even winter adventures are possible, as freezing temperatures seldom prick the city. For those keen on avoiding holiday throngs, May and June offer a bustling yet comfortable tourist season, alongside an added benefit - a healthy shower of rays too.

Budget-conscious travellers might find the lowest hotel prices in December, turning Stavanger into their personal winter wonderland. Regardless of the time of year, encapsulate a piece of Stavanger and create beautiful stories of the city, the fjords, and the northern lights with Lycafly.
