Stavanger, European Culture Capital in 2008
The Stavanger region has been chosen by the EU as a European Capital of Culture for 2008. Stavanger 2008 offers hundreds of events throughout the year. From the astonishing Lysefjord in the east, to the moody North Sea in the west; from Sirevåg village in the south, to Tungenes lighthouse in the north – varied adventures and unforgettable sights await our visitors in Stavanger and surroundings. Fjords and mountains, a myriad of islands, beaches and polished rockfaces, lighthouses, heather-covered hillsides, raging rivers and cascading waterfalls, golden grain fields, sheep and cows grazing on green pastures, ancient grave mounds and pulsating city life.
