About Haugesund
Haugesund is a compact west-coast town north of Stavanger, built on herring wealth and spread along the Smedasundet channel. Its flat centre packs cafes, shops and the pedestrian Haraldsgata into a few streets, with the Radhus and Var Frelsers church nearby and the Marilyn Monroe statue on the quay. Just north is Haraldshaugen, the national monument marking the burial mound of Harald Fairhair, Norway's first king.
Ten minutes south on Karmoy, Avaldsnes, the country's oldest royal seat, has the Nordvegen History Centre, a medieval stone church and a reconstructed Viking farm. Longer trips head to Akrafjorden, Langfoss waterfall or the beaches of Karmoy.
