Stavanger

Description

A colourful street in the centre of Stavanger where all buildings have been painted in fresh colours.
This is perhaps the most colourful street in all of Norway, and it has been called Stavanger's "Notthing Hill". The area experienced a renaissance in 2005 when hairdresser Tom Kjørsvik envisaged doing something totally unique with it. All the houses along the street were painted in different hues, in accordance with a colour scheme suggested by the artist Craig Flannagan. As you wander along Øvre Holmegate, you will find many exciting shops and charming café's, such as Sjokoladepiken (the Chocolate Girl), where you can enjoy delicious, handmade pralines.
