Stavanger

Stavanger sits on the Stavanger Peninsula beside Byfjorden in Rogaland, Norway, where the North Sea coast meets a network of fjords and islands. Norway’s petroleum industry has made the city a major energy centre, a story interpreted at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum on the harbour. Gamle Stavanger preserves a compact quarter of white-painted wooden houses, while Stavanger Cathedral, begun in the 12th century, anchors the historic centre. Ferries, bridges and tunnels link the city with Ryfylke and the wider southwestern coast. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how coastal Rogaland connects regionally.
