8 NordbøgataThe Michelin star
This is unique. A short boat trip from Stavanger takes you to "Flor & Fjære". The stunning garden will take the breath from you, not only because it is insanely beautiful, but also because you'll see flowers, trees and plants that one would not suspect could live and thrive in Norway. After the mandatory tour of the garden you'll eat an unforgettable dinner in an atmosphere that makes the trip one to write home about. Seems unlikely? Check it out online! Flor & Fjære is a secret the locals cherish.

The Rosehagen café/restaurant is located at the top of the hill above the port. If you've had a stressful day, or just need to chill, this is the place. The CEO of the steel mill used this as his home for decades, until the local authorities bought the house. It has charm, character and the view, oh what a view!

Parks & Nature
It's a long walk, but when you get there you realise it was worth the effort. Adobe selected a picture of the Trolltunga as the cover for box in which it ships the "Lightroom" software. No coincidence that Lightroom is the photo editing software of choice for most photographers.

Within walking distance from the apartment. A local favourite which opened recently to the public. Take a stroll across the bridge. Bring your frisbees and play frisbee golf with the locals, or have a leisurely walk around the island. Perhaps you'd like to test the water and take a swim?
