Haugesund is a young and vibrant town with roots dating back to Viking times. A thousand years ago, King Harald Fairhair united Norway into a single kingdom near here. Ever since, Haugaland has laid claim to the title “Homeland of the Viking Kings – Norways Birthplace”.As in Viking days, seafaring and trade symbolise this coastal region.

The region is rich in history with many exciting destinations to experience. A broad range of excursions is available to explore the history, culture and stunning scenery the area offers.
