Discover Sola

Welcome to Sola – located on Norway’s southwest coast where wide sandy beaches meet a strong cultural heritage. Renowned for its North Sea coastline, Viking history and aviation legacy, Sola combines natural beauty with easy connections through Stavanger Airport (SVG).


A coastal municipality with deep roots


Sola’s history reaches back to the Viking Age and even earlier, leaving its mark in both myths and monuments. The dramatic Sverd i fjell monument recalls the Viking battle that unified Norway, while ancient burial mounds and stone settings across the landscape bear witness to settlements from the Stone and Bronze Ages. The medieval Sola Ruin Church adds another layer of history, standing as a reminder of the area’s long religious and cultural traditions. More recent heritage is preserved at Flyhistorisk Museum Sola (Aviation History Museum) near Stavanger Airport, which tells the story of Norway’s role in aviation through historic aircraft and wartime artefacts.


Beaches along the Jæren coast


Sola is first and foremost known for its beaches. Sola Beach (Solastranden) is the most famous, stretching for more than two kilometres and often ranked among Norway’s finest. Just as inviting are Ølbergstranden, Vigdelstranden and Hellestøstranden – each with its own character, from sheltered family-friendly sands to open shores popular with surfers, kitesurfers and walkers. Together they form part of Jærstrendene, the long stretch of beaches and dunes that defines the coastline of Sola and the wider Jæren region.


Outdoor activities


Beyond the beaches, Sola offers great opportunities for walking and cycling along the Jæren coast. You can follow the Solaturen route past Sola Ruin Church and local heritage sites, or take a beach walk from Solastranden towards Ølberg and Vigdel. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at Solastranden Golfklubb, an 18-hole links course by the sea. Sola is also a convenient starting point for exploring Lysefjorden and the world-famous hike to Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen).


Restaurants and conferences


A wide range of dining options – from casual cafés to fine cuisine – awaits in Sola and, especially, in nearby Stavanger, where many restaurants highlight seafood and local produce. Thanks to Stavanger Airport, the area also serves as a hub for meetings and conferences, with modern hotels that combine overnight stays, restaurants and dedicated facilities in one place – making it easy to bring together business and comfort.
