Lofotr is hands down one of our favorite museums! We’re not really huge fans of museums in general, they honestly tend to be kind of boring, but Lofotr is different. They have managed to make the past come alive in a fun and entertaining way while still being educational. And the fact that you can participate in activities like sailing on a real Viking ship makes all the difference and is a pretty unique and fantastic experience that you will never forget.

The small town of Henningsvær is my favorite place in Lofoten. Wondering around the streets of Henningsvær, we could easily picture ourselves living here!

This Henningsvær travel guide gives you the best things to do and see in Henningsvær, as well as the best places to stay and eat.

When visiting Norway’s Lofoten Islands, taking a boat trip out on the sea and fjords is a must-do. The most spectacular fjord in Lofoten is the narrow Trollfjord, tucked in between tall peaky mountains. We took a cruise to Trollfjord with Brim Explorer, the new Electric Ship that promises eco-friendly tours. But what was the cruise really like and is it the perfect Trollfjord tour?

Svolvær city, or Svolvaer, is the gateway to the stunning Lofoten in Northern Norway. It is Lofoten’s capital and the first city you arrive at when driving into the Lofoten Islands.

If you are heading to Lofoten and plan on visiting Lofotens biggest “capital” city Svolvaer/ Svolvær, then a walk over to the island Svinoya is a must. The beautiful Svinoya Island with its many red cozy fishermen’s cabins/ rorbuer is like stepping back in time to when this part of Lofoten was a thriving fishing village.
