Quarter · Stavanger, Norway

Gamle Stavanger

173 white wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, on cobbled lanes above the harbour.

Gamle Stavanger is in Stavanger, and this is Stavanger — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 730 km across and 260 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

The Bergen and Dovre railways are two of Europe's great train rides and cost less than the equivalent flight if booked early. All of Norway →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
