After a long bus ride from Honningsvad with views of water, fields, snow-capped mountains, and ugly little reindeer, we passed through many tunnels and around winding curves and finally arrived at this spot. It is filled most of the day and night with tourists and why not? Since it was a foggy day, there was no view. It was cold even in June, but what a place. Lots to see indoors. A very good experience.
A visit to the Norkapp is a must do when you visit Honningsvag. The cape is about 45 minutes from the town. An interesting ride on good roads thru a unique landscape. The cape is about a 1000 feet above the water. The views are majestic and the visitor center very well done with exhibits, postal unit, restaurant, and gift shop.
Highly recommend. Hope this helps.
In order to watch the famous midnight sun, it was not easy to be there - drove 1,300 km, and you have to cross your fingers as well, since you have to bet for the weather there is good.
The night we arrived was cloudy and windy, and after spending time in the tunnel's exhibition, theatre (which was rather boring!) and souvenir shop, we finally stayed in the cafe at midnight to watch the natural wonder.
To be honest, it was not too impressive.......but the feeling of being at the northern end of the European continent was amazing.
Very inspiring and teaching place on the most northern place of Europe. Take some time with you to explore the outside monument and the breathtaking view into the polar sea, don't forget to visit as well the nice caves and various exhibitions at the museum. The video sequence about the seasons at the Northkapp is very entertaining! Don't forget to become a member of the Northkapp association.
We drove here from Honningsvag for our cruise shore excursion. The road was mostly flat, although part of it was ascending a mountain that needed a long guardrail. Luckily the weather was good. When we got there, it was covered with fog. There was an entrance fee to get in. I thought it was very cool. When we got outside, the fog had lifted. But it was still very windy as it is on a plateau. There is a globe you can pose with. There are cliffs that are pretty and a Children of the World monument. Inside they have a movie, restaurant, gift shop and coffee shop. There is also a chapel, some exhibits telling the history of this place and a Cave of Lights. We were glad we went and thought the exhibits were very interesting.
