Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Relive some of Norway's ancient history as you visit the Iron Age Farm and St. Svithun's Cathedral. You'll travel through the rich farmland to Ullandhaug and the Iron Age Farm. Once there, you're instantly transported into the 4th/5th centuries, when iron implements and weapons were used. The restored longhouses with room for animals on the one end and their owners on the other, sit on the original sites. See demonstrations of some of these ancient skills and try a few yourself. Then, you'll re-board your motorcoach for a scenic tour that visits the outside of the best-preserved medieval cathedral in all of Norway, St. Swithun's, also referred to as Stavanger Cathedral. It's almost unchanged since it was founded around 1125 by Bishop Reinald of Winchester. Your tour concludes here, or you can remain in town, perhaps visiting Old Stavanger, believed to be Europe's largest collection of wooden buildings.

Due to renovations planned in 2023 guests the visit to the Cathedral with be from the outside only.
