The excellent ferries and roads network in the Haugalandet region make it very accessible to the visitor. The capital of the region, Haugesund is a nice and vibrant town which imposed itself as a center for cultural festivals and business conferences. The largest cultural events held here are: the Norwegian International Film Festival and Sildajazz, the former celebrating the herring - which was, for centuries, the main source for city growth. The architectural masterpiece of Haugesund is the pink city hall, built in 1931, designed in neo-classical style and painted by the famous Alf Rofsten. The stone cross at Krosshaugen is over 1000 years old and is a symbol of Norway conversion to Christianity; the holly mass used to be held here before churches were built.
Oslo abounds with sights of interest, such as museums, parks, urban districts with listed buildings and a well-developed array of shops. As most sights are within walking distance of each other, you can leave your car behind. Oslo City Hall is located in the city center only a few hundred meters from the city's main street and overlooks Oslo Fjord filled with moored pleasure craft, shrimp trawlers, cruise ships, charter boats and ferries to all the islands. Oslo has a wide variety of restaurants, bistros and bars. Most are located within such a limited area that they are within walking distance of each other. In addition, each quarter of the city has an unusual atmosphere all worth visiting.
Considered "the town of all towns in Norway" by locals and not only, Bergen is a great city with tradition and one of the most important economic centers in Norway. The famous hanseatic wharf of Bryggen will meet the tourists coming here by sea; tradition is the key-word in Bryggen, rebuilt in its initial form after many fire destructions; that's why it was named by UNESCO a World Heritage City. Bergen's natural scenery is amazing: the surroundings seven mountains offer scenic views and are accessible either by cable car of funicular railway; the unique fjords: Hardangerfjorden, Sognefjorden, Geirangerfjorden - invite you to a breathtaking boat trip. Bergen is also a cultural city and the splendid houses - today museums - of the famous composer Edvard Grieg and violinist Ole Bull are living proofs.
