Find a cheap mini holiday at Risskov and explore Norway. Visit Haugesund, located on the west coast of Norway between Bergen and Stavanger in the middle of the area where the Vikings united Norway into a kingdom. The town grew big and strong with, among other things, herring fishing and the beautiful harbour, where there was also shipbuilding. Today, the city is probably best known for its herring jazz and film festival, and it's also here that you'll find Norway's longest pedestrian street filled to the brim with great deals and opportunities to ooze. Not far from Haugesund is Avaldsnes, home to an exciting Viking museum that certainly deserves a visit. Haugesund is a charming town with a beautiful waterfront and plenty of opportunities to shop and enjoy gastronomy at the many restaurants. The surrounding countryside offers several hiking trails and everything you need for an active holiday.
