Stavanger is located on the south-western coast of Norway. This city of approximately 115,000 inhabitants is one of the most prosperous cities in the country and, at the same time, still holds on to its Old World charm.
The topography of this region consists mainly of small islands, deep fjords and sandy beaches.
Stavanger enjoys a maritime climate; the region receives a good amount of rainfall and the weather is windy. The average temperature during summer is a pleasant 20°C. In the winter, the average temperature is just above 0°C.
Stavanger began as a quaint but bustling seaport with the local industries supporting its economy. But ever since the discovery of oil off its shore, a few years ago, the city has had a massive upheaval of development; it is now a good blend of the old and the new.
