Situated on a peninsula on the southwest coast of Norway, Stavanger is a pretty city surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer.
In the Jæren area out by the coast to the southwest are white sandy beaches as far as the eye can see. Further inland, the landscape rises somewhat, and gently rolling hills give way to big mountains. To the east of Stavanger are fjords that boast narrow passages inland between tall, extremely steep mountainsides. The famous Prekestolen (The Pulpit Rock) is a particular highlight, with its square horizontal plateau like a floor on top of a rock that rises 600m (1,968ft) straight up from the fjord down below.
Stavanger is the oil capital of Norway and is therefore an affluent city with a strong international orientation. Some 4,000 residents working for the oil and gas industry come from abroad. Yet Stavanger has managed to preserve its local identity and still exudes a certain small town charm.
Being a university town and a city with a large international presence, both through academia and the oil industry, Stavanger has a vibrant cultural scene and nightlife, with concerts, shows and events, and a great number of fun and welcoming pubs and bars attracting the crowds every night. It also has some of the best restaurants in Norway.
