Haugesund Attractions

The E 76 comes to Haugesund (pop. 27,000), in Rogaland county, a busy port (services to Stavanger and Bergen) and industrial town, with an airport. The Town Hall also houses the Municipal Museum. As a cultural centre, Haugesund hosts a large International Film Festival every September and Sildajazz, an international jazz festival, in August.

The town is linked with the little island of Risøy (fishing port; extensive quays) by an arched concrete bridge.
