When you arrive, settle into a cosy hotel just a short stroll from the city centre. With the best of the city right on your doorstep, it’s the ideal base for your adventure.

Maybe take a walk along the harbor and enjoy the relaxed coastal vibe. Nearby, you’ll find Gamle Stavanger, or The Old Town, a quiet pocket of cobblestone streets and white wooden houses that have stood here since the 1700s.

If you want to make your evening truly special, you can add a Michelin-starred dinner at RE-NAA during check out.

Stavanger’s RE-NAA is one of only 148 restaurants in the world with three Michelin stars.

With its intimate atmosphere and impeccable service, RE-NAA offers more than just a meal.
