Stavanger Viking Tour– 2,5 hours
In Stavanger they have embraced the recent popularity of many Viking series, and they are now proud to present the story of the Vikings – historically correct, with a touch of Hollywood. The Viking Tour will give you the complete picture of the Scandinavian ancestors. Warriors yes, but they were also traders, explorers, and great artists.
Your Viking guide, who wears typical clothing from the Viking age, will be leading you to some specific stops. One of the stops is The Swords in Rock, where many brutal battles took place as well as several other historical locations of great importance. Explore the longhouses at the Iron Age Farm and hear about the daily chores and traditions from 1500 years ago.
At Sola we stop at the stone circle “Domsteinene” – an ancient, mysterious monument standing in a stone circle formation. Archeologist have not yet managed to explain its purpose, but it could have been a sacrificial site used by the Vikings.
