Back inΒ 2014 a group of people decided to make a video from my hometown, with the help of a drone.
Today I was reminded of this video through a “memory” on facebook, and I thought I would share this quick peak of Stavanger, with you.
The footage is taken early in the morning (sun is coming up) which is why the streets are really empty.
Here it is – the video of “Stavangergatene”!
Enjoy π
Awesome share, Anne. I don’t know which streets I liked better ~ the all white buildings or the different color pastel buildings. Beautiful perspective.

π The white buildings in the beginning of the video are from “Old Stavanger“, it’s a historic area with houses from 18 and early 19th century. Parts of old Stavanger is protected because of its history and age. I almost bought a tiny house there once (when I was really young).. but it needed a lot of work and money (which I didn’t have). I kinda regret that I never got it.. as I would have loved a tiny house there now π The street with the pastel colours, are called “Fargegata” (the colourful street)… it’s become a trendy street for small little cafes, bars and specialty shops. It’s my hairdresser who has been the one driving the “project” to do something special with this street.
Stavanger has cute little streets, great restaurants, a bunch of tiny cafes, a harbour area to sit down and eat and drink, loads of stores, short ways to the beach, areas to walk, sail, hike… and so on. It’s a great city to belong to.
If you ever want to come for a visit, let me know and I’ll show you around π

Thanks, Anne. No plans for overseas travel in the near future . . . but I’ll keep your generous offer in mind. It’s always nice to have a local tour guide . . . especially when signs aren’t in English.

Thank you! Yes it is pretty. It’s not all that big, and happily there aren’t too many tall buildings around, so it makes for a sweet town. Wonderful to walk around/hang out in, on a sunny day π
