In this video I take you on a stroll through the city where I was born, Stavanger. It's Norways fourth biggest city - but still very small on a global scale. I show you my favorite cozy places in the center of Stavanger, which I admittedly discovered as a teenager and still go to as an adult 🙈. We also head a little bit off the beaten path, and in the end I take you to my favorite spot outside of the city.

If you are visiting this part of Norway and have some time there I highly recommend also going to Bergen. Watch my video on Bergen to get a sense of that city:    • BERGEN Norways most beautiful city? A...

  • I enjoy your videos very much. My grandpa Jacobson was born and raised in Norway with all his family. At 21 he came to the United States and then eventually brought back some of his brother and sister. It was always my dream to visit Norway but at 81 and in a wheelchair when I leave my home I guess I won't make it now so I will enjoy all you have to offer. Blessings and love from New Mexico

    I stumbled upon your channel because of this video. I am from Minnesota in the US and coming to Stavanger in late June to visit friends. I’ve since watched many other videos and they are very relaxing and a great break from a busy life. Thank you for all you do. I will revisit this video as I prepare for my trip. Thank you!

    I loved watching this! I grew up not really knowing anything about my father and finally discovered this past week that he and his family are from Stavanger. Learning about this city and culture has been very healing for me thus far. I'm hoping to visit sometime in the future to really help me put these pieces together.

    The beach was beautiful and calming. Wish I was there. Thank-you for sharing the sights and sounds of this city.

    I absolutely love Norway. Last year I felt a pull to go to Bergen and I went there by myself for a week last summer. It was absolutely beautiful. Fresh air, clean water, friendly people, amazing nature. I totally felt like I came home. My next visit will be to Stavanger area. Now I'm thinking of learning Norwegian language. 😊 Thank you for another lovely video. 🤗

    Beautiful Norway ❤. Thank you Maria for your enjoyable and calm videos.
  • @MaureenAstrid
    Thank you so much for showing us around. ❤ a real treat to get a glimpse of all these lovely places in the town.
  • @cindyhunter166
    Thank you for this beautiful tour and ending at the beach was perfect ❤
  • Enjoyed your tour of Stavanger. It brought back good memories when I was there several years ago. Took many of the walks you did and found my best Norwegian souveniers at a charity shop there. One of my grandparents was from there.

    What an interesting city, with independent businesses full of personality and then the stunning beach and sea. Throwing light on the world from so many different angles. X
  • Beautifull video, It feels you pay attention to all the details and love to do It. A peacefull moment watching It. Thank you! Greetings from Argentina
  • Hello Again ☺. I can still feel your loss and sadness 😢. Me too, I miss my late husband Terry so much, he loved the sea. I read recently that grief never goes away, it just gets slower, quieter, but sometimes it comes rushing back like the sea. So the parting scene was very appropriate. Sending love, light and Spring time 🌷⚘ blessings. Take care of each other xx
  • Thanks a lot for your atmospheric video. Coming to Stavanger in two weeks. Missed Norway much.
  • @floralchemy
    Beautiful and inspiring video...thanks for sharing!
  • Such a colourful, positive and creative video that now makes me want to visit Stavanger! I have no idea why you don't have 300K+ subscribers yet as your content is always stunning!! Thanks a lot from Toulouse, France :)
  • Loved the colorful street and, of course, the beach. Thanks for showing us your birthplace.
  • @katylew4426
    Thank you Maria, such a beautiful video. I love Norway so much. Every corner is so beautiful. I live in Sørreisa for half year. I will definitely come back to visit. Thank you for sharing your journey. From California.

    What a pretty city! I love the artwork and colors painted on the buildings, and the brick roadways. The hot chocolate at Boker og Borst looks scrumptious! Interesting shops in Gamle. Loved the delightful cats residents and the horseback riders along the beach. Thanks for the tour. Jenny USA
