Where to stay in Hillevåg
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds are scarce on these streets. Hillevåg is a workaday residential district of southern Stavanger near Hillevåg kirke, so travellers chasing the harbour and the old town generally stay closer to the centre and treat this quarter as a quieter, more local stretch to pass through. Base here only for a calm, everyday foot south of the core.

About Hillevåg
What are the main landmarks in Hillevåg?
Hillevåg kirke gives the district its own parish church. Around it, Varden kirke and Bekkefaret kirke serve the surrounding streets of southern Stavanger, and Hetlandshallen provides an indoor hall for the area. Younger crowds head outdoors.
The Bekkefaret skateanlegg adds a board park to a quarter that leans more toward everyday life than big-ticket sights.
What is the history of Hillevåg?
An old bay name carried over to the suburb. Hillevåg began as a shoreside spot on the southern flank of Stavanger and grew into a working district as the Vestlandet city expanded past Våland toward Hinna. Industry moved in early.
The neighbourhood's churches and halls came later, threading houses through what had been a fringe of the port.
Where is Hillevåg?
It fills the ground south of the centre. Hillevåg runs along the southern side of Stavanger on the Vestlandet coast, set below Våland and bordering Hinna further south, with Stokka off to the west across this part of the western Norwegian city.
