Southampton is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, England. It is 69 miles (111 km) south-west of London and 15 miles (24 km) west north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. It lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water at the confluence of the Rivers Test and Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. The city, which is a unitary authority, has an estimated population of 253,651. The city's name is sometimes abbreviated in writing to "So'ton" or "Soton", and a resident of Southampton is called a Sotonian.
Significant employers in the city include Southampton City Council, the University of Southampton, Solent University, Southampton Airport, Ordnance Survey, BBC South, the NHS, ABP and Carnival UK. Southampton is noted for its association with the RMS Titanic, the Spitfire and more generally in the World War II narrative as one of the departure points for D-Day, and more recently as the home port of a number of the largest cruise ships in the world. Southampton has a large shopping centre and retail park, Westquay. In 2014, the city council approved a neighbouring followup Westquay South which opened in 2016–2017.
In the 2001 census Southampton and Portsmouth were recorded as being parts of separate urban areas; however by the time of the 2011 census they had merged apolitically to become the sixth-largest built-up area in England with a population of 855,569. This built-up area is part of the metropolitan area known as South Hampshire, which is also known as Solent City, particularly in the media when discussing local governance organisational changes. With a population of over 1.5 million this makes the region one of the United Kingdom's most populous metropolitan areas.
Stavanger is a city and municipality in Norway. It is the third largest city and metropolitan area in Norway (through conurbation with neighbouring Sandnes) and the administrative centre of Rogaland county. The municipality is the fourth most populous in Norway. Located on the Stavanger Peninsula in Southwest Norway, Stavanger counts its official founding year as 1125, the year the Stavanger Cathedral was completed. Stavanger's core is to a large degree 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses that are protected and considered part of the city's cultural heritage. This has caused the town centre and inner city to retain a small-town character with an unusually high ratio of detached houses, and has contributed significantly to spreading the city's population growth to outlying parts of Greater Stavanger.
The cozy town of Haugesund on Norway's southwest coast welcomes visitors with fresh sea air and the true atmosphere of the Norwegian coast. Here, the stories of the Vikings come alive: it was near Haugesund that important trade routes once passed, and nearby stands the Haraldshaugen monument, erected in honor of Norway’s first king. The town’s streets are filled with cozy cafes, boutiques, and galleries, while the pier with white boats and fishermen’s houses invites you to enjoy peaceful seaside walks.
Every year, Haugesund hosts film festivals, maritime celebrations, and music events, keeping the town lively and warm. It’s the perfect place to discover Norwegian traditions, taste fresh seafood straight from the fishing boats, and take a walk along the North Sea coast, enjoying views of green hills and cliffs diving into the ocean.
The southernmost coast of Norway invites you to discover the amazing city of Kristiansand. This charming town is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is the fifth-largest city in the country, and although its center fits within a small area of just 1 km², Kristiansand has much to offer its visitors. It’s not only about the incredibly clean Norwegian air but also many other interesting attractions.
Among them is Norway’s largest zoo, home to 80 species of animals. A visit here will delight both children and adults. You can enjoy rides on carousels, laugh wholeheartedly at the circus, and take the whole family on a sea excursion or spend time together at a playground.
