    The drive from Honningsvag to the North Cape is stunning - the tundra is mesmerizing - and full of reindeer! No trees grow here, so there are unending views of the reindeer, undulating hills, small lakes - beautiful! Note - make sure to spend a day in Honningsvag, a beautiful historical fishing town, lots of cafes, still a working fishing port, small, accessible, clean, yet very busy and vibrant. Once you get to the North Cape, if it's clear, get right out to the point to get some photos as a clear view is pretty rare! You are in the clouds here, so take advantage of a clear sky while you can. The building has lots inside - many museum exhibits, we spent nearly 2 hours reading, exploring, etc - so for those that think this is a "rip off", I don't understand frankly, as there is so much inside the building, so many scientific and historical exhibits. The gift shop is beautiful, many fine products, and there are several cafes - don't miss the waffles!

    Check if there is a cruise ship or the Hurtigruten in town and avoid the day if you can. Already a busload of 50 people crams the indoor area of the museum.

    If you do not have 4hrs + to do it all: Have a look at the rock carving section inside (to the left of the entrance) and then visit the 1st (shorter) outside section. You will be given a guide book (choice of several languages) which will help you to detect the individual carving on the stones. This is really helpful when visiting the second section of the outdoor area.

    Outdoors you walk on one way boardwalk so very easy. The second section goes more up and down though.

    There is a picnic place after the first bit of boardwalk (but before the 1st set of rock carvings begin) and some more in the 2nd area. There are lockers in the basement of the museum and toilets.

    The striking architecture on the outside keeps going on the inside. However the inside room is small and seen within minutes. You do receive a small leaflet which explains the features of the church but in the overall not worth NOK 60.- entrance fee.

    In the basement you could watch a 10 min movie about the Norther Lights which will cost an extra NOK 60.-.

    A visit to the North Cape Information Center at the de facto northernmost outpost of civilization is a traveler’s bucket list achievement marker. Getting there after over an hour’s drive over desolate windswept terrain under unpredictable weather conditions with brief stops at a Sami family reindeer herding site and the Grotten Viewpoint that could reward with flashes of Northern Lights depending on the season is an experience to landmark photograph, walkabout and crow about.

    This museum features 1) WWII resistance 2) local mining and 3) Sami culture. It is a well curated museum & very interesting. The restored Soviet plane & stories of partisan resistance are particularly interesting. A very nice small local museum.

    Was a very good museum with a great mix of military, local culture history. A lot of exhibits were of top quality such as the local top generals uniform.

    Very nice and peaceful museum if you took the time to check when Hurtigruten is in town. I would always choose this museum over the one at the "Northkap".

    What I liked best were the four movies which are shown on the first floor, all with subtitles.

    Obviously the pony drawn sleigh ride through the snowy valley was really memorable for my wife and I.
    Viggo, Laila and Anniken were so friendly and online contact beforehand was prompt and helpful.
    Pick-up and return from and to our cruise terminal was very comfortable and faultless.
    Highly recommended.

    It's just a lovely drive. You need to be careful as we had to be in March as snow made driving tricky.

    A stunning building from the outside. Get deeply touched by history from the inside. At the entrance their are English guidebooks which has all texts translated.

    And if this hasn't you moved enough then side the dark square building at the exit on the left. Unbelievable what was done in courts all over Europe.

    Open 24/7.

    So glad we stayed two nights after our cruise. Stayed in Scandic Hotel, ask for a view. Explored WWll tunnels, small Museum and travelled to the border with a guide.
