7 Top Places in Lofoten in Northern Norway

October 27, 2020
Top Places in Lofoten in Northern Norway

Top Places in Lofoten is surrounded by the small island community in Northern Norway. It doesn’t come as a surprise that natural beauty is one of Norway’s greatest assets. By this, we have the Seven must-visit places in Lofoten in Northern Norway. The crucial list for planning your Road Trip adventure in Lofoten and exploring the nature tourism of Norway.

7 Top Places in Lofoten in Northern Norway

And also remember the Medieval churches, deep fjords, crystal clear blue water and sandy beaches, mountains that look like troll and sea eagles that fish better than you.

Natural Beauty is one of Norway’s Greatest Assets

1. Top Places in Lofoten is Å

When every care is taking left when leaving the ferry from Bodø, you take right. And then you go to the end of Lofoten and discover the small, picturesque fishing village Å. In that way surrounded yourself to deep mountains, hanging over the village, and getting kissed by salty ocean water in your face.

The real reason you want to go to Å, is because you want to taste the best cinnamon rolls in Noway! The bakery has been operating since 1884, and the old stone oven is still running a smooth operation. Get in line and wait to be served heaven on earth.

2. Reine is One of The Top Places in Lofoten

Reine is maybe one of the strongest must-visit places in Lofoten, it’s iconic! You probably have seen tons of photos of the famous mountain: Reinebringen, a modest 448 meters high. The summit’s view is why around 1000 people walk there daily in the high season. One of the most popular hikes in Lofoten. Can we blame the people when the view is mountain peaks, villages, and spectacular ocean views?

We went exploring the National Tourist Route of the coast of Helgeland and then further on to Lofoten. This Road Trip includes 2 of the 18 scenic National Tourist Route in Norway, that consist of scenic lookout points, visitor centers, bridges and public toilets. When being on a road trip, it is all about the stops along the road and the journey. Let's not forget the cinnamon rolls! We had long days in the cars with 5 hours driving almost every day sometimes even a bit more because the ferries do take their time on these two National Tourist Routes.

3. Sakris Island in Lofoten

If you can, try to stay at Saksris, the beautiful Island, that is only a 5-minute car drive from Reine in Lofoten. It’s smaller and even closer to the ocean, how is that possible, well that’s Norway. Then go to a local restaurant for dinner and grab a generous portion of Bacalao and some local beer from Lofoten. Then enjoy the view of the sea and the salty breeze kissing your face.

4. Nusfjord Fishing Village is A Must-See in Lofoten

Nusfjord Fishing Village is another must visit place in Lofoten. One hour drive from Reine, you are getting even deeper into the Norwegian fisherman’s culture and the life of the coast of Norway. In Nusfjord you can be taken back in time by the antique colonial shop, which is kept authentic and with all sorts of fun vintage objects from the early time in Nusfjord. They also have great Norwegians waffles and if you want, you can go on an excursion and be a fisherman for the day and catch your own dinner.

If you have, you must plan a visit to the breathtaking beach of Rambergstranda.

5. Henningsvær is One of The Best Places in Lofoten

Henningsvær is another Must Visit Places in Lofoten, due to having the best cinnamon buns in Loften, or was that in Å? I can’t decide place both of them are mouthwatering and tasty. If you want to be at the cool place in Lofoten, I would say that Henningsvær very much is the place where the cool kids hang around. Also, see: 7 Unique Places to Stay in Norway.

6. Trevarefabrikken in Henningsvær

That’s why Trevarefabrikken needs its own explanation. Pretty much an old factory turned into young hip collaboration place, with even offering to house, cool concerts, sauna with a view and sometimes you can even bake your own pizza or if have Yoga by the oceanfront. Yes, Trevarefabrikken is Lofoten’s cultural hotspot and is located in Henningsvær, the place for the cool kids in Lofoten.

7.Eggum in Lofoten

Midnight sun hunter? Eggum is the place to go when wanting to explore the magic of the midnight sun. You can also find the famous architect of Snøhetta with a rest area in the of an amphitheater with a car park and service facilities.

The Eggum Tourist Route is one of 18 National Norwegian Tourist Routes, commissioned and managed by the Public Roads Administration to allow travelers to enjoy the countryside’s spectacular vistas with amenities such as service buildings, hiking trails, and public art. The Eggum project consists of a service building within an amphitheater, a hiking trail, a car park, and stairs built in gabion walls – Snøhetta
