Strangely enough, the charming old part of Stavanger does not get the visitors of the modern centre. The advantage is, that this compact area remains quiet and unspoilt.
The history of Stavanger goes back more than 1,000 years, and probably even dates from around the 800s. It has always had importance as an economic city; it served as a market town, and was home to shipbuilding and canning industry. More recently, Stavanger developed as the petroleum capital of Norway. For a city with such a long history, the centre looks remarkably modern: present-day downtown Stavanger is a busy area with the 12th century Stavanger Domkirke, but to go to the old part, you have to cross to the other side of Vågen, the natural harbour of Stavanger.
