STAVANGER - Beautiful Gamle Old Town & Fargegaten - Øvre Holmegate, NORWAY 🇳🇴 4K

Stavanger is by far one of our favorite city from Norway. It is the third largest city and third largest metropolitan area. The city's population rapidly grew in the late 20th century due to its oil industry. Stavanger is known today as the Oil Capital of Norway.

On Stavanger’s west side, just a short walk from the harbour, lies Gamle Stavanger, the city’s beautifully preserved Old Town. Narrow cobbled lanes wind between nearly 200 white wooden cottages, many with colourful flowers tumbling from window boxes. These houses were once home to sailors, craftsmen and merchants when Stavanger’s wealth came from fishing and shipping. Today, most are privately owned and have been carefully restored, creating one of Europe’s largest collections of occupied wooden homes.

Stavanger’s Øvre Holmegate, known locally as Fargegaten, is one of Norway’s most photographed streets. Just steps from the cruise port, this row of rainbow-coloured houses is a lively hub of cafés, boutiques, and nightlife.
