Stavanger, Norway

Stavanger, Norway

Norway's oil capital keeps its wooden-house old town, Gamle Stavanger, immaculately preserved along the harborfront, one of the best-kept collections of 18th-century timber buildings in Northern Europe. It is also the launch point for the hike to Preikestolen, the sheer-sided Pulpit Rock that hangs six hundred meters above the Lysefjord below, one of Norway's iconic views for the reasonably fit. A serious new-Nordic dining scene has grown up around the old harbor to match the oil wealth. History and one of Norway's great hikes, in a single call.

...We had a great time-best ever, and will be coming back...Charlie and I feel like we've been yachting with our "best friends". Hard to believe we didn't know anyone on the yacht 8 days ago-now we've met new traveling friends for the years to come. Mr & Mrs HoganWashington
