Places to visit Stavanger

The Stavanger Oil Museum is a very interesting building with fascinating information on Norway's oil industry. Displays of submersibles, drilling equipment, a mock oil platform, and audio-visual presentations make for a good few hours
The Canning Museum may not seem like the most interesting place to visit but it is a surprisingly good little museum with a lot of hands-on exhibits.
Gamle Stavanger (Old Stavanger) is a well preserved slice of Norwegian history. Old winding streets and wood houses are representative of accommodation from Stavangers days as a fishing town.
Preikestolen (the pulpit rock) can be seen by boat or hiked up. It is an impressive geological feature that is prominent on almost every Stavanger postcard. It protrudes from the rock about 604 metres above the fjord and is almost totally flat on top. The view from the boat is less satisfying than the hike and a round trip takes several hours. Boats leave from the Vaagen (the harbour in the centre of town.) The hike is moderate and the trail is well used especially during the summer.
A good place for a photo opportunity are the Three Swords, a monument outside the centre of Stavanger, beside the Hafrsfjord. The swords themselves are massive and in the background is the fjord.
Sculptures - In 2000 the British sculptor Anthony Gormley placed dozens of cast iron, life-size, figures on Sola beach and in the water. They were eventually removed and placed around the city. Their locations range from public squares to private gardens.
