Cruises to Haugesund, Norway

Haugesund, Norway The Norwegian city of Haugesund is snugly between the bigger metropolitan areas of Stavanger and Bergen, in the southwest of the country’s magnificent fjord coastline. Haugesund is the ideal short-stay destination due to its café culture, museums, galleries, and picturesque cityscape. Haugesund’s downtown is compact, and the city’s streets are laid out in a grid pattern that makes them simple to navigate on foot. From Skjoldavegen (north) to Asbygata (south), the primary north-south street is Haraldsgata, which is pedestrian-only (south). Sorhauggata, a parallel street, is one-way south, whereas Strandgata is one-way north. Torggata is pedestrianized between Sorhauggata and Strandgata for a total of two blocks. Once upon a time, the throne of Harald Fairhair was occupied by the Viking rulers who called this area home. Avaldsnes on the island of Karmoy is the greatest place to learn about the Vikings’ history.

Haugesund attractions

Haugesund is a young, dynamic city that boasts cultural and arts festivals, notwithstanding Haugalandet’s rich Viking background. The Norwegian International Film Festival, held in August, is widely regarded as one of the region’s premier film celebrations. As August is also when the Sildajazz festival takes place, jazz fans may wish to go.

Alluring scenery, including the glacier of Folgefonna to the north and the mountains of Preikestolen to the south, sets the stage for seemingly unlimited opportunities for outdoor adventure. Check out the Langfoss Waterfall, which plops dramatically from a high cliff into the fjord below. Visit the serene beaches of Karmoy or get out on one of the many trails that crisscross the area for some beautiful vistas.
