Its proximity to the North Sea oil fields has made it the fast growing and wealthy oil capital of Norway. But its narrow lanes and white timber houses are all in well preserved traditional style, from classic style to funkis. It is a modern city with a wide variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Contrast characterises this city, the people who live there, the surrounding landscape - and the weather! All this makes Stavanger a pleasant and very charming city. Stavanger is Norway's fourth largest city with 113 000 inhabitants (metro-area 200 500 inhabitants). A city charter was obtained in 1125 when construction of the beautiful medieval cathedral began, but the area has been populated for over 10,000 years. Stavanger is also the centre of higher education in Rogaland county.
