We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Stavanger. They wrote...

"Expats in Stavanger appreciate the city's strong sense of community and the friendly locals. They also enjoy the city's stunning natural beauty, with its fjords, mountains, and beaches. The city's vibrant cultural scene, with its many festivals, concerts, and events, is also a draw for expats. Additionally, Stavanger is known for its excellent seafood, which is a favorite among locals and visitors alike," said another expat in Stavanger, Norway.

"It is of course, a very beautiful country, despite the constant rain. Once you get to know them, Norwegians are very nice, and way less superficial than Americans. I love that public transportation and sidewalks are everywhere, it is a joy to not be dependent on a car. I also feel much safer, especially with health care being (mostly) free. Knowing that you won't be turned away from the hospital if you don't have insurance when you are a poor college student is a relief," wrote a member who made the move to Stavanger, Norway.
