Stavanger

Stavanger is located 190 mi/305 km southwest of Oslo on the coast south of Bergen, which is the "capital" of Norway's off-shore oil industry. The main attractions are the restored 18th-century streets and houses, the Canning Museum, Domkirke-a Romanesque church and the city museum. Dont miss the most entertaining museum, the new Norwegian Petroleum Museum: Built over the water to resemble an oil-drilling platform, it's filled with buttons to push, displays to climb on, even a simulated helicopter ride.
