WHAT YOU VISIT
Highlights of Haugesund
Get a local's insights into Haugesund's centuries-old history with a tour that showcases its many delights. Get started with a drive to Town Hall, protected by the National Preservation Agency. Back on the coach, it's a short drive to Haraldshaugen, Norway's National Monument of Unification, which marks the spot where King Harald Fairhair united Norway into a single kingdom in 872. Hear Viking Age stories and learn how Viking kings ruled from this serene and picturesque area for 500 years. Finally, learn how local copper was used in making the Statue of Liberty with a tour of the Visnes Mining Museum.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
During your tour, you'll pass by rows of humble timbered buildings typical of Norwegian architecture plus one that appears a little out of character for such a quiet town-the Town Hall. With its prominent pink façade, it may conjure up images of a child's playroom but the 75-year-old building is a popular venue for festivals and assemblies (and it's the world's only pink town hall).

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
For jaw-dropping views, you'll ascend to Mount Steinsfjellet Viewpoint and look out upon the North Sea and its surroundings.
