Public Transport

Haugesund itself can be covered on foot, so if you bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes, you will be just fine. However, it can be a little bit cold to walk around in the winter, and the local bus is the easiest means of transport if you do not wish to walk. The bus is also convenient if you want to visit any of the towns nearby. They are usually reliable and on time. The bus company is called Kolombus, and depending on how much you would need to use the bus, there are discount cards available.
