Stavanger Cathedral: Gothic Grandeur
For a dose of spiritual serenity (and some seriously impressive architecture), we'll take you to Stavanger Cathedral. This 12th-century beauty has weathered fires, reformations, and restorations, emerging as a stunning example of Gothic and Romanesque styles. Our knowledgeable guides will point out hidden details you might otherwise miss, like the intricate carvings and the stories behind the stained-glass windows.
Øvre Holmegate: The Colorful Street
Ready for a burst of color to brighten your day? Øvre Holmegate, affectionately known as "The Colorful Street," is a feast for the eyes.
