Go back in time at Bukkøy.
When you visit the island of Bukkøy, you'll be transported back in time. It's on this island where you can find Avaldsnes, Norway's oldest royal throne. Each year, over 200 Vikings from all over Europe visit for the annual Viking Festival. They live in tents, perform reenactments and show people what it was like to live during the Viking Period.
Take a gorgeous ferry ride to this island.
You can get to Utsira from Haugesund on a 70-minute ferry ride. Once you're there, visit the lighthouse Utsira Fyr, one of two heritage-listed lighthouses on the island. Afterward, check out some of the unique huts erected around town. There's the Love and Conversation Huts, the Green Hut, which is made from pieces of plastic collected from the sea, and the Utsira Community Hut, which was created by the residents of Utsira.
If you're visiting in the summer, one of the best things to do in Haugesund, Norway, is to hike Himakånå, also known as the Mini Trolltunga. Unlike its sister, Himakånå only takes about two hours round trip to get to the top and down again, as opposed to the nine- to 12-hour hike Trolltunga requires. The views from the top are spectacular and can't be missed.
While you can absolutely expect to dine on amazing seafood like clams, herring and even seaweed, the real treat in Haugestun is a dessert. The Queen Maud fromage is a layered dessert made with cream, kogel mogel and chocolate. Kogel mogel is made with egg yolks, sugar and honey. It's a delicious confection that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
Haugesund is home to the Norwegian glass studio Formbar Glassverksted. Join a workshop where you'll learn how to make your own glass or, if you'd prefer to watch, there are daily demonstrations. This is also an excellent place to pick up a souvenir. If you're interested in something a little more traditional, step into the charming shops selling handmade goods along the main street in Haugesund.
