Stavanger is a gorgeous coastal city in Norway, which features many scenic, natural locales and charming wooden houses from the 19th century. It’s the country’s third largest city and is home to important entities, such as NATO’s Joint Warfare Center, oil and gas companies, the Stavanger Cathedral, University of Stavanger, and the Stavanger Concert Hall. The city attracts folks for all kinds of reasons, but it’s worth visiting just to check out its stunning Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen).
