About Stavanger & Airport

Norway's fourth largest city lays on the southwest coast. Now it is considered oil capital of Norway, but the city has roots that come from something quite different. Stavanger began its existence with small villages in the Ice Age, somewhere around c. 10,000 years ago.

It was also considered a military post in the 9th and 10th centuries, as well. These two facts make Stavanger not only a city of great historic value but also gives further proof as to why tourism has brought people from all walks of life together here. It is considered to be one of the oldest cities in Norway.

It is also known as Sola Airport, and was opened way back in 1937, by the then King Haakon VII. With taxis being very expensive, it can be cost effective to hire a rental car.

For example, a taxi from the airport to downtown Stavanger, a mere ten miles away, will cost you more than EUR40. The airport is serviced by Flybussen, who offer Airport Express coaches, that link the airport to the town of Stavanger.

Now, it offers a great financial centre along with gives travellers the ability to rest before making a journey into the last inhabited areas of Norway. This is a great place to begin your adventure into the unknown and make sure you're ready to enjoy one of the most nature-filled countries in Europe.
