The Colourful Wooden Town Egersund
A gentle beginning: Local flavours, warm hospitality, and cultural charm
Grand Hotell is Rogaland's oldest hotel, operating back to 1878. With 101 unique hotel rooms, a restaurant, wine and cocktail bar, wine cellar and a first-class kitchen, you get a modern hotel experience in historic surroundings.
The various rooms are unique based on the era of their building, and regular guests often have a favourite room they request.
Explore Egersund at your own pace, guided or self-guided.
Step into Egersund, one of Norway’s best-preserved wooden towns. Wander through narrow streets lined with colourful houses in soft, earthy tones – each corner telling stories from centuries past. Fires and rebuildings have left a
fascinating mix of styles, from the medieval charm of Hauen to the elegant late-Empire façades of Strandgaten.
The trip you just have to take when you’re in Egersund.
A short but rewarding hike leads to panoramic views over the town, harbour and surrounding landscape. Along the way, you’ll discover scenic paths, wartime history and Bronze Age rock carvings near the foot of the hill. A great outdoor experience for families, though strollers may be challenging on the steeper sections.
Local flavours, intimate atmosphere, and historic surroundings
Set in a former barn and pigsty, Hauen Kro offers a warm, informal atmosphere with quality food made from good ingredients. Enjoy lunch indoors or outside in the narrow alley during summer, surrounded by historic wooden houses and local life.
Easy-going outdoor fun in a popular recreation area.
Play a friendly round of frisbee golf among lakes, forest paths and open water channels. The area is easily accessible from town and well suited for relaxed group activities. Frisbees can be rented locally.
A playful hike to one of the region’s most famous rock formations.
Follow marked trails through lunar-like landscapes shaped by ice and magma. Trollpikken is a short and popular walk, well suited for families and curious explorers, with parking and cycling access close by.
Discover local brewing traditions through guided tastings. Visit one of Norway’s oldest breweries and learn about beer, soft drinks and whisky production. Tastings take place in the brewpub or tasting centre and must be booked in advance. Best suited for adult groups.
Slow down and relax by the sea.
Enjoy a warm sauna experience in Egersund harbour, with room for small groups. A perfect way to unwind after an active day.
End the day with local flavours and fine dining.
Eigra Kitchen & Bar offers a refined dining experience based on seasonal ingredients, paired with comfortable accommodation. A calm and enjoyable finish to a full day together. Bring your friends, colleagues, business partners, family and anyone else you want to enjoy good food and drink with.
