Do not forget the Luteran Church!
adema29 Says: I was trying many times to find it opened. Only few days before my last trip in Hammerfest I have seen it…It was not so impressive as I was prepared but I was surprised about another element... the similitude of the carved and painted figures from the Romanian Merry Cemetery...
Leipzig Says: This museum is about the tradition of hunting, fishing as well as the Arctic wildlife. It is also seat of the "Royal Ancient Polar Bear Society ". You can join them as long as you have been at least once to Hammerfest.
Go to the museum...the Reconstruction one
adema29 Says: To be honest it is not the Louvre of Finnmark as I was expecting but I have forgotten for a moment that we are here, so far from our Europe and thinking in that way we can accept that Gjenreisningsmuseet is not so bad.In a way it is nice to see that somebody is trying to...
adema29 Says: I have been down in the city especially for saying goodbye to everything. Starting from the Fountain, Churches, Salen and every house and shop window and kids playing around in the city. I did not realize that the autumn is already here in the city…I will let you enjoy the...
The Hammerfest Chapel...That Chapel
adema29 Says: It was the only building standing after the Second World War...It was maybe the soul of the future new city. The location is on the quiet plateau lying near Lutheran church on the south side of Hammerfest.I have done only some photos because I am still an adept of the idea...

Odds Mat og Vinhus: The best restaurant in the city
adema29 Says: It seems to be a traditional restaurant and the best in the city. I have been there once and we have to choose from a lot of well done dishes. I have tried something with lamb which was delicious. One of my colegues was eating seal and we have all tried the seaguls eggs...
Kaikanten: Extreme entertainment :)
adema29 Says: The restaurant is not really a restaurant and to call it pub is a little bit too much :)If you enjoy the adrenalin and you do not have the courage enough to go to Banjer'n Pub... well Kaikanteen can be a good choice. A fast beer... standing... near the door and... do not...
travelfrosch Says: Hammerfest does indeed have an airport (Airport Code: HFT). It is about a 10 minute drive from the town center. It is served by Widerøe Airlines, which provides multiple daily flights between Tromsø (TOS) and Kirkenes (KKN) stopping at several arctic villages along the way....
travelfrosch Says: Northbound coastal steamers arrive daily at 5:15AM, departing for Kirkenes at 6:45AM. Southbound steamers arrive daily at 11:15AM, departing for the journey to Bergen around 12:45PM.To get to or from Hammerfest, you'll normally take a "port-to-port" trip. The website has a...
adema29 Says: I use to fly there with the local Wideroehttp://www.wideroe.noThey have good connections from Tromso. The price may be a problem, but if youreally want to go there this is the best solution I believe.Another idea is to use the Hurtigruten: http://hurtigruten.noI hope that...

Cristian_Uluru Says: Along the road toward Hammerfest is very common to see wild reindeers to cross the road. It is a great opportunity to have a photo, but pay attention with the cars because they cross the road suddently!!!
adema29 Says: Do not enter in this pub. It can be dangerous. You will find inside very dangerous species... and do not forgett that they are always drunk... very drunk. If you really love the risk be sure that you are guided by a local. He will know how to manage the situation. To cut...
adema29 Says: When you will come here try to keep in your mind that the North Pole is not far :)Take with you the clothes for cold time. Not more under zero. If it is more...it will be a good ideea to remain in a pub. Even if is not warm it will be a lot of smoke at least...What is 100%...

The northenmost city in the world!?
Hammerfest has been declared the World's northernmost city on 17 July 1789 and it is hardly fighting to keep that unchanged. It is still a very important harbour and its fishing industry was always a...

The small town of Hammerfest is located at 70.664° N 23.69° E and it claims to be northernmost town in the world with more than 5000 inhabitants. The town is also the oldest one in North Norway: it...
Hammerfest is located at 70 degrees north and the world`s northernmost town. Hammerfest was offically named a town in 1789 and has around 9200 inhabitants.
Our coastal steamer had an early morning call at Hammerfest, the northernmost incorporated town. We did not disembark, but were able to get some very nice photos.
Hammerfest is my favourite city in the north with its own magic of strange weather and people.
