About Haugesund

The pearl of the South West, as the city of Haugesund is known is located where the roads meet the fjords out into the sea through the dramatic landscape, flanked by a glacier Folgefonna to the north and the bracing mountain formation of preikestolen in the south.

The coastal waters of Haugesund were the source of herring fish in the early years which developed the city through the years but nowadays petroleum is the main industry. However Haugesund has retained its tradition through the years and is still a cultural centre for its region. Several festivals are held here with the Norwegian International Film Festival and the Sildajazz (an international Jazz festival) being the largest.

Haugesund is not only a city engulfed with natural beauty but also has various historical and archaeological sites. The city centre itself has a distinctive street layout which makes it very attractive.
