The Domkirken at night
Byparken - between the cathedral and the lake In 2008 the Stavanger region is the (non-EU) European Capital of Culture, with many events, seminars and festivals throughout the year - see our guide to Stavanger 2008 events
Kids Verdict:
The Jugglers parade and the jousting should be interesting, but the stuff about Jesus suffering doesn't sound very good
