There's a good chance you'll be in Honningsvåg and won't be able to see a thing. This is the arctic after all. So, if you've had your heart set on taking a pic with the iconic metal globe at the North Cape or Nordkapp, ok, take the 45 minute bus ride to get there, but that may be the only picture you get. If you want to explore the town of Honningsvåg, here are a few ideas to help get you oriented.

There is a vibrant art scene with sculptures, galleries, handicraft shops and public art exhibitions. The museum has permanent and temporary exhibits to help you understand life in the arctic since the Stone Age as well as the near demolition of the city during WWII. This is an active fishing port and visitors can go out and fish for King Crabs, or other arctic sea life. At the foreshore, look down into the clear water and you'll easily spot star fish, urchins and other bottom dwellers that the king crab feed off of.

Don't miss the community theater production about life in the arctic. Local stories are told through song, dance and storytelling. Especially on a cold day, this is a perfect way to learn while being entertained and staying warm.

Pubs, cafes, and shops including a Christmas store are also fun ways to while away a day. Or take a walk through the city, exploring the homes and streets that make up this community.
