About an hour ferry ride from Haugesund lies the small island of Utsira. Long heralded as a wonderful place for bird-watching, it has recently emerged as a prime centre for street art, even though the island has no streets. There are about 70 pieces spread out all around the island, giving visitors yet another reason to explore it to the fullest.

Salar Jung Museum is one of the most significant museums of national importance. It houses an extensive collection of Indian and international artefacts, paintings, books, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and more. The museum's collection was primarily sourced from the private collection of the Salar Jung family, particularly Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, also known as Salar Jung III. One of the museum's most famous attractions is the musical clock, known for its hourly performance, during which a bearded figure comes out and strikes the gong. This mechanical spectacle draws a crowd, especially around the time it is set to go off.
