Stavanger is a city in southwestern Norway. A Cathedral in the center of town, Stavanger Cathedral, dates all the way back to the city's 12th-century founding. Stavanger Museum chronicles the city history and displays preserved wildlife. The Norwegian Petroleum Museum displays the oil industry with submersibles, a large drill bit and an escape chute; and the shopping street is well known for its colorful houses! It's also a very interesting place to get to, because you can arrive by car, train or bus; and there's lots to see along the way!
