Stavanger is a place from which you can undertake many nature excursions. The place has a nice atmosphere and picturesque city center. Also fjord cruises are possible. I think it is underrated. Pedersgata is a good street to eat, and you should definitely explore Storhaug and take a picture from Bybrua, and of course gamle stavanger shouldn't be missed, nor the harbor. The tier scooters offer a nice quick, if expensive, way to explore the city more quickly. Busses are another option.

Loved the old part of the town, the parks, the harbour and the size of the town. Not too small, not too big. And people are very kind. We recommend going on the cruise to Preikestolen - it’s the best way to see a big part of the beautiful surroundings. The downside to Stavanger (and most parts of Norway) is that it is quite expensive. Especially to eat on restaurants and cafes. But we knew that beforehand, so we were not surprised.

Excellent small city. Highly recommended that anyone who travels there takes a cruise of the beautiful Lysefjord as well as hiking up Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen). Plenty of gorgeous nature in the area. There is a garden island (Flor og Fære) that can be accessed by a short boat ride (30 minutes), but be aware that this island is mainly about the meal (very good) meal, and the island as a whole is pretty small. It is an excellent trip for older/less active people or just a lazy day with friends, but I would not recommend it for a solo traveller.

Lovely city. There's not much to see in the city itself besides admiring its architecture and culture. However, the nature around it is absolutely stunning. People go here to hike and see the fjords. I would definitely recommend you to go on a cruise around the area. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful little city in a spectacular location. Everything is well organised and everyone speaks either reasonable or excellent English. Expensive for everything, especially alcohol. Beer in pubs and restaurants around 150kr for 600ml; cheaper in supermarkets. But, definitely worth the trip.

As with everything in Norway - it is expensive! However, at the end of the day, you certainly get your money's worth. The scenery and architecture sometimes is very reminiscent of the United Kingdom, however, those similarities end when you start talking to people. Very open, very polite, very hospitable. Exactly the opposite of what you will see in the stuck-up British. As a result, you WANT to save money and come back to enjoy the country over and over!
