What do people like (and dislike) about Stavanger?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Stavanger, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads generally like the high quality of life, beautiful natural surroundings, and outdoor activities available in Stavanger. They appreciate the clean environment, well-maintained public spaces, and efficient public transportation system. The city's safety, low crime rate, and friendly locals also make it an attractive place to live. Additionally, Stavanger has a thriving cultural scene, with numerous museums, galleries, and events throughout the year. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads often dislike the high cost of living in Stavanger, as Norway is known for its expensive goods and services, particularly when it comes to housing, dining out, and alcohol. The weather can also be a downside, with long, dark winters and unpredictable rain throughout the year. Some expats may find it challenging to make friends with locals, as Norwegians can be reserved and may take time to open up. Finally, the language barrier can be an issue for those who do not speak Norwegian, although many locals do speak English," said another expat in Stavanger, Norway.
