The programme

The small city of Haugesund is a real gem that is home to views, architecture and symbols of Norway's great history.
To discover them, jump onto the electric minibus with your guide, and get ready to discover secret routes in total comfort, as you listen to the stories, legends and mythical sagas that brought these places to life.
Not far from the center, you'll come face to face with the spirit of Norway: the national monument, built on top of the burial site of the first king of Norway. Then, a building that unites tradition and local craft: the church of Skåre, built exclusively from planks of wood, has stood the test of time over the centuries.
When you get off the minibus, it's time for a surprise or two. A hidden oasis where art and nature combine awaits you: get close to the horse sculptures nestled among the waters of Kvalsvik bay!
Not many people know of the beauty of Hasseløy: an open-air island-museum that has so many stories to tell. It will all become clear to you as you admire the historic buildings in the 'city of herring': a plunge into the past, among ancient customs and lifestyles.
