Stavanger Port Ferry Overview
Stavanger is a city and municipality in the county of Rogaland, Norway. The city is a combination of new and old influences. There is a significant foreign influence with the foreign oil interests, the NATO Joint Warfare Center and in recent years a large immigration from Eastern Europe. Norway's oldest cathedral, Stavanger domkirke, is situated in the city centre. Stavanger has several beautiful lakes, which are popular recreation areas. Breiavatnet is located in the heart of Stavanger, while Mosvatnet and Stokkavatnet are situated right outside.
Old Stavanger is located right next to the city centre and has a collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century wooden structures. Stavanger is home to the only Norwegian cathedral that is almost unchanged since the 14th century. The city centre itself is small and intimate, with narrow streets and open spaces protected from car traffic. The open-air vegetable market is one of the very few in Norway where you can buy produce directly from local farmers every working day through the year.
The car ferry port in Stavanger is in the main harbour Vaagen, beside the old wooden houses of Gamle Stavanger. The local car ferries and fast boats depart from another terminal on the east side of the centre. Note - DFDS Seaways no longer operate a route to Newcastle in England. |
