Activities,
restaurant guides, etc
We think you'll find the
best information on trips
out in the region here - ranging from an hour or two to a week or more.
This includes detailed guides to ski
resorts in the region, for example.
Our restaurant
and bar guides are very popular
- especially for the Stavanger area.
We have some information on specialist
shops - food etc - so let us know if you can't find something
and we will see if we can help.
