One of the best places to experience the Viking Period is Avaldsnes, Norway’s oldest royal throne, located on the island Bukkøy.
During the annual Viking Festival, Avaldsnes has 200 Vikings visiting from all over Europe, living in tents, performing re-enactments …
… and selling handicraft made with tools and techniques from that time.
In the region of Haugesund, locals preserve traditions so they can live on outside the pages of a storybook. But it is not limited to the Viking Period.
