Wooden houses by the coast
Stroll through Southern Norway’s Stavanger, a charming town along the coast, known for its white houses, small streets, and seaside atmosphere.
Why it’s worth it
Classic coastal Southern Norway
The wooden house towns are highlighted for their characteristic architecture and seaside feel. It’s a different side of the region compared to inland nature: narrow streets, harbour areas, and the distinctive white wooden houses that define many coastal towns.
