What to see around Stavanger?
The Stavanger area is primarily fjords. The most famous attractions are the Preikeskolen rock ledge and the Kjerag stone. It is one of those places that you must see. However, it is worth going early in the morning, so as not to stay overnight. The cheapest accommodation is around PLN 500 - we suggest you just leave the car in the parking lot and see as much as you can.

Troll tongue
Have you ever seen a troll's tongue? If not, you have the opportunity as long as you go to a place called "Trolltunga". Unfortunately, when you are in Stavanger, you should expect an expedition of over 4 hours. In this case, even leaving in the morning will not help at all - you should find some accommodation in the vicinity. You can find recommendable accommodation, e.g. in Trolltunga Guesthouse - for one night for two you will pay PLN 450 here.

Bergen
While in Stavanger, it's impossible not to see Bergen. There are, among others fish market, viewing platform and characteristic row buildings. Important information is the fact that accommodation is much cheaper here. There is, among others Bergen Hostel Montana with prices around PLN 98 / person.
Stavanger can be a great base for exploring Norway. If you do not intend to overpay for accommodation, remember one thing - in this country the law called Allemansretten applies. It allows you to spend the night anywhere, as long as you put up your tent 150 meters from the nearest buildings. Traveling by hitch is also no problem.
