Between the city park and the bay is located Kielland garden, which got its name because the poet Alexander Kielland's house at the time was here. Central to the town is the city lake which is in turn surrounded by the city park, built as the city's first urban park in 1866–1868. There are several parks and green spots in Stavanger municipality, both in the city and beyond. It also includes the eastern half of the island of Åmøy. The city includes many islands off the coast including Bjørnøy, Buøy, Engøy, Grasholmen, Hellesøy, Hundvåg, Kalvøy, Lindøy, Sølyst, and Vassøy.
Breiavatnet is located between the two fjord arms. An extension of Boknafjorden and Byfjorden intersects the harbor into the hollow from the northwest, while Hillevåg lake intrudes from Gandsfjorden in the southeast. The city has developed on both sides of a hollow that runs right through the terrain, with steep slopes up from the bottom. Stavanger's highest point is the 139-meter (456 ft) tall Jåttånuten with the 136-meter (446 ft) Ullandhaug as the second highest point. The terrain is low-lying: 49% of the area is less than 20 meters (66 ft) above sea level, While 7% of the land is at 60 meters (200 ft). The city of Stavanger is closely linked to the sea and water, with five lakes (including Breiavatnet, Stora Stokkavatnet, and Mosvatnet) and three fjords ( Hafrsfjorden, Byfjorden, and Gandsfjorden) sea and water form the landscape, providing a shoreline rich with vegetation and wildlife. The landscape has a distinctive appearance with rocks and hills where there is no settlement or agriculture.
The majority of the municipality lies between 0 and 50 meters (0 and 164 ft) in elevation. It is part of the Low-Jæren, a flat area of land consisting mostly of marsh, sand, and stone aur, that ranges from Ogna River in the south to Tungenes in the north it is the northernmost part that includes Stavanger. The Byfjorden and Gandsfjorden run along the east side of the city. The municipality of Stavanger is located in a coastal landscape, bordering the sea to the west and Boknafjorden in the northeast. The urban area of Stavanger stretches across many neighboring municipalities, making it the third largest city in Norway by total urban population. It is on the south-western coast of the country. She is a real credit to the city.Stavanger is the fourth largest city of Norway. Apparently she is a pensioner who covers their reception and who is obviously very proud of the hall, speaking in glowing terms of the hall and Stavanger itself. I cannot thank the lady who showed me around enough. It was a real privilege to listen to them for a few moments. I could not believe my eyes as there below was The Stavanger Symphony Orchestra rehearsing. I said yes, so she took me up a further staircase leading out onto the balcony of the main hall. She asked me if I wanted to go inside to look. Not only did she allow me to take photos, she then took me on a personalised tour of the venue with an incredible wooden staircase leading to the main auditorium. I asked if it was permitted for me to take photos of the reception area where there was an incredible aerial sculpture and she said of course. I’d only been in the reception area a few minutes when a wonderful lady asked if she could help me. It just happened that I thought I’d pop in to take some photos of the inside and compare it to the one in Oslo I’d seen previously, a few years ago. I visited the concert hall whilst on a cruise port call as an independent visitor.
