Where to stay in Stokka

The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.

Few rooms, plenty of sights. Stokka is mostly a residential part of western Stavanger, so visitors tend to stay nearer the centre and walk or ride out to Stavanger kunstmuseum and the Ledaal manor, rather than bedding down among these quiet streets themselves. Choose this district if culture by Breidablikk museum matters more than a harbour-side base.

About Stokka

What are the main landmarks in Stokka?

This is the district of museums and old houses. Stavanger kunstmuseum, the city art museum, sits here alongside the historic manors of Ledaal and Breidablikk museum, while Stokka kirke and Kampen kirke serve the surrounding streets. Sport has a home too.

Stavanger Turnhall and the Fredheim grounds round out a corner of western Stavanger that gathers far more than its share of the city's landmarks.

What is the history of Stokka?

The manor came first, the houses followed. Ledaal, the grand estate that the district grew around, was built before Stokka filled with the streets of a western Stavanger neighbourhood, and Breidablikk museum nearby keeps another wooden mansion from the merchant era of this Vestlandet port. Two old houses set the tone.

The rest of the quarter rose around them over the years.

Where is Stokka?

It spreads across the western flank of the city. Stokka covers a stretch of western Stavanger on the Vestlandet coast, sharing its borders with Våland to the east and the southern districts of Hillevåg and Hinna that run down the same side of the city away from the centre.
