Today we stopped in Haugesund. A city in Norway with around 35,000 inhabitants. We didn't book a boat trip. Komoot offered us a nice city tour. From the cruise ship terminal via the city harbor, to the Haraldshaugen Monument (memorial to the unification of the empire) and back through the city center. Completely sufficient.

This tour was very nice. Since we had chosen a tour that had already been completed. What we can definitely recommend is the coffee house, the cupcakes are delicious.

Great way to see the town, the coastline & the marina.

Our tour was supposed to be a bit longer, but we shortened it a bit since our departure was early.
