Haugesund
Loved Haugesund. We walked for miles. Right along the coast. Easy walking. Right to The Rising Tide Sculpture. It was created by artist Jason DeCaires Taylor. Very cool.
The first king of Norway, Harald Fairhair
Haugesund is known as a shipping and industry town. The Aibel shipyard is known all over Norway . But the town’s development was largely thanks to the herring fisheries.
Risoy bridge
The city centre is a 20-minute walk from the cruise pier. You have to walk over the Risoy bridge.
Norway's maritime capital
Smedasundet sound
Smedasundet sound, or Indre kai in Norwegian is well worth a stroll down. The right bank is a bit touristy but we liked it. Stopped at a local bar for a couple of drinks. Not cheap but enjoyable.
