Like I did for other ports-of-call for Norway, please post ideas, recommendations and to-avoid for Haugesund.

Trip report for Haugesund, Norway, June 16, 2023 Sunny and about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Breezy along the water. 

 

This was the final port out of 6. There were no sea days between ports, so we were tired.

 

Our plan was to walk the trail along the coast. 

 

When we arrived in port, we saw that the ship was docked on an island. I'm not sure how far you have to walk to get off the island and into the city center. Carnival had transportation available when we got off the ship. There were several options. We chose a bus that cost 70 kr each roundtrip to the Information center. That saved us a lot of walking along he 100% sunny road.

 

We decided that we did not want to have to walk 4 miles round trip to get the the 3 1/2 mile coast road trail that day. Other people did do that walk and enjoyed it. Instead, we walked around the City. There was a map available at the Information Center. There was a nice pedestrian area there too. The issue was that the only open WC in the area was at the City Library, so we didn't travel far from there. We did end up walking 3 1/2 miles around town.

 

This might have been a better day for a bus tour.
