Holiday cottages in Rogaland, Norway

Today, Rogaland is a modern, dynamic and peaceful region that is closely intertwined with oil production in the North Sea. The largest city in the region, Stavanger, is regarded as the oil capital of Norway and is the 4th largest city in the country - well worth a visit from your holiday homes in Norway. Here there is an international atmosphere, whilst inhabitants of Rogaland are friendly, relaxed and speak Norwegian with a soft accent, reminiscent of accents in the south of the country. This warm and welcoming temperament is perhaps due to Rogaland's mild climate - the most gentle you will find in the whole of Norway, which makes the region great for agriculture, as well as self-catering holidays in Norway at any time of year.

Your holiday homes in Norway are the key to discovering all that Stavanger has to offer. see the archeological, zoological and anthropological items on show in Stavanger Museum, including Norway's oldest skeleton. Culture vultures may enjoy the Faste Galleri with paintings from the mid 19th century until present day. meanwhile the Canning Musum is situated in the former canning factory of Chr. Bjelland & Co. (1888), and is dedicated to showing the history of preserving fish and other products which was an important industry here in the past. Enjoy your self-catering holidays in Norway and take in the pleasant ambience of the town and its beautiful natural surroundings as well as all there is to see and do.

There’s always something to do in Rogaland - whether it be a boat trip to Utsira island, salmon fishing in the Sokna, horseback riding or golf. The area exhibits both rich nature experiences and cultural activities in Norway. Bicycle enthusiasts will be happy to find the world’s longest bicycle route here, extending across southern Rogaland up to Egersund. It’s also here you’ll find the amusement park Kongeparken which includes a 1,000-metre-long bobsleigh run – you can’t get more Norwegian than this!
