Relaxed Storhaug includes part of Stavanger Sentrum, a downtown area known for its quaint whitewashed wooden houses and cobblestone streets. Elsewhere, there’s a mix of fashion boutiques and upscale shopping malls, plus laid-back international restaurants. Stavangeren theater stages plays, cabarets, and comedy, while statues and an old music pavilion are among the attractions at Byparken, a small park around a lake.
