Stavanger, Norway

Natural beauty blends with Norwegian charm in Stavanger. Enjoy a boat cruise down Lysefjord, which stretches nearly 25 miles and is flanked by mountains and waterfalls, to spot seal colonies, herds of goats and rural farms along its banks. If you're up for a challenge, tackle the roughly four-hour round-trip hike to Preikestolen, also known as Pulpit Rock. This 82-by-82-foot rock formation rises almost 2,000 feet above the waterway, offering mind-boggling views. Additional outdoor fun includes cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, rafting and sunbathing at area beaches. In Old Stavanger, stroll the cobblestone streets to see the largest collection of wooden houses in Europe. Along with various shops and galleries, this section of town is home to a maritime museum and canning museum, which highlights the history of the city's fish-packing industry.
