Stavanger, Norway
https://rodne.no/en/fjordcruise/lysefjord-preikestolen/- book for cruise, check
into pulpit rock hike as well.... Start your tour with a visit to the Museum of
Archeology. Find out how it was really to live during the Viking era. In the
exhibition Viking Voyagers you get familiar with rebel fighters, but also the
lives of six women from Rogaland: Gudrun, Svåva, Svankvit, Herborg, Sigerlin and
Niamh. A housewife with psychic abilities, a well-dressed lady from a family
with extrasensory contacts and a woman with a necklace that carries a brutal
history. Nearly a stone's throw away is the Norwegian Children's Museum, which
is a paradise for children (and adults!). It has a great collection of toys;
cars and dolls from Laerdal, climbing and playing castle, tunnel and dress up
room. In the same building is also Stavanger Museum, with its natural history
department. The exhibit Disfigured animals and smiling skelletons will most
certainly become popular with the kids. On the way from Stavanger museum to the
center of the city go through the city park with Breiavannet (lake). Make a stop
to witness bird life. If you come here during summer (July only), there are
several fun toys and activities for children in the city park next to the
pavilion. Furthermore, exiting the city park follow Klubbgaten towards
Jorenholmen, go left at the end of the road and continue on until you come to
the Geopark. Geopark is an experimental and different urban park that tests new
forms of reuse of both ideas, materials and items from the petroleum industry.
Fun place to be active! Continue on to the Norwegian Petroleum Museum. The
Norwegian Petroleum Museum is a modern, interactive museum where you can learn
how oil and gas formed millions of years ago. Try your luck as a North Sea
diver, or watch how they live and work on a platform. Follow the Blue Promenade
along the waterfront from the oil museum until arriving at the other side of the
harbor, continue on to the Old Stavanger and the Norwegian Canning Museum. A
museum unparalleled showing an important era in Norwegian and Stavanger's
history. It is recommended with a guided tour to get the most out of your visit.
You have a go at placing rubber sardines in a box. If you visit on a day they
fire up the smoking ovens, you can taste freshly smoked sprat! Well worth a
visit! It is recommended to do these suggested activities over a period of two
days to get the maximum benefit of all experiences.
