Stavanger Waterfront & ‘Runseeing’ Tour

Wallpaper Flare

This is a 5-6 km tour of the historic center of Stavanger, some paths along the water, and a loop around a small lake in Byparken. There are good options to add on.

Start in the area near the ferry terminal & Petroleum Museum. This first 2.4 km section is a run along the waterfront roads, which change names several times. It’s part sidewalk and part dedicated path. Just north of Bjergstedparken, retrace your steps for 1.4 km to Byparken, and enjoy the ~1 km loop around the lake. Then, take Skaken through old town to the hilltop Valberg Tower scenic point, which features great views!  Conclude the route by running through a few of the narrow streets of Old Town — be sure to take Øvre Holmegate, known for its colorful houses.
