Forus Travbane

Forus Travbane is an open-air trotting track that combines a sporting identity with a flexible venue layout for large crowds. The wide oval track and clear sightlines from the stands create a “big outdoor stage” feel—ideal whether you’re coming for racing or for an event production set up for an audience.

Inside the stands and surrounding areas, the experience is built around visibility and comfort: tiering and open views toward the track make it easy to follow the program, while food and refreshment points are placed so you can take a quick break without losing the flow of the event. As a venue, it works especially well when you want space, smooth crowd movement, and an open, airy atmosphere.

You’ll find it at Bjødnabeen 7, Stavanger, Norway. The easiest approach is to follow the main access route and head for the clearly marked entrances, with a straightforward option to arrive by car thanks to parking nearby.

Stavanger, a Norwegian coastal gem, stands out as an appealing destination for concerts, sporting events, and lively evenings out. The city blends a relaxed seaside feel with modern amenities, giving visitors an easy, comfortable way to move between the center and the main event venues. If you’re traveling for tickets, Stavanger is a practical choice because a relatively compact area delivers a lot: solid organization, high-quality services, and plenty of ways to extend the experience beyond the event itself.

When it comes to getting in and getting around, Stavanger relies on dependable infrastructure and straightforward connections. Local transport operator Kolumbus serves the city and the wider region with bus and boat routes, making it simple to reach arenas and stadiums without hassle. If you arrive by train, Stavanger stasjon is the key hub where you can quickly connect to city lines, and by air you’ll typically land at Stavanger lufthavn, Sola, which is well linked to the city. With a compact downtown, you’ll often cover part of the route on foot, supported by short, logical transfers.

Before or after the event, it’s worth soaking up the city’s rhythm: stroll along the harbor at Vågen, explore the wooden lanes of Gamle Stavanger, and loop through the colorful Fargegaten. History lovers often stop by Stavanger Domkirke, while coastal walks and viewpoints naturally lead you toward the fjord and quieter corners of town. For a memorable finale, many choose a trip to Hafrsfjord and the Sverd i fjell monument, which captures the power of the Norwegian landscape and local stories.
