Stranger in Stavanger

It was towards the end of October and I was coming from a Travel Conference in Copenhagen and I took the opportunity to fly further north to Stavanger to get the chance to unwind and explore like a stranger in an unfamiliar place. Stavanger is a city in southwestern Norway. It is about a little more than an hour flight from Kastrup (CPH) in Copenhagen to Stavanger Sola (SVG) in Norway. Travel was short and easy, but it is an altogether different environment that will greet you compared to the Copenhagen. Stavanger is the third-largest city and one of the oldest settlements in Norway. Its many museums feature everything from sardines to Vikings and its Old Town boasts 173 restored wooden buildings. The quaint, small white cottages are enhanced by beautiful gardens and cobblestone streets. The best thing about Stavanger is its walkability. I spent most of the 2 day stay I had walking and admiring its natural charm #celebratewithtrip
