Norway's urban art capital

Forget what you think you know about Norway's oil capital – Stavanger's street art scene is the real liquid gold here. This compact coastal city has quietly become one of Europe's most exciting urban art destinations, thanks to two decades of the groundbreaking NuArt Festival. From massive murals by international legends to hidden gems in narrow alleys, every corner tells a story through spray paint and stencils. Your expert local guide will decode the graffiti and street art that transformed industrial walls into Norway's most unexpected outdoor gallery.

This 3-day Stavanger art tour is a deep dive into the alternative art scene that made this city famous among those in the know. You'll explore the permanent collection of street art in Stavanger, hear the stories behind controversial pieces, and understand how a conservative oil town became Norway's creative rebel. With options to add a silent Lysefjord cruise or a three-Michelin-star dinner, you can mix high culture with street culture exactly how you like it.

This underground art scene won´t stay underground forever. See it before it becomes mainstream!
