Latest Honningsvåg hotel reviews
globetrott Says: Honningsvag itself is a place I had absolutely no time to explore within the few minutes that I had left over betweeen the excursion to the Northcape and the departure of my Hurtigrutenship.When coming to Honningsvag by Hurtigrute your time will always be too short: 3,5...
globetrott Says: There is a scenic landscape with various lakes and bays and almost no trees, along the road that gets you to the Northcape. As a private cardriver you have to pay here various toll-fees before you are finally able to get to the large carparking of the Nordkapp.btw. the place...
globetrott Says: A lot of new attractions were added to the Northcape since i had been there in 1985. There is a large cinema with an audio-visional-show, there is a church, an art-gallery and a thai-temple, great works of art and a lot more things. I enjoyed this place a lot more in 2009...
globetrott Says: The Sami are living as nomads in the north of europe, togeather with their herds of reindeers and more and more of them obviously rather work as "tourist-attractions" , showing their tents and a single reindeer to the tourists going to the Northcape. We had a stop there of...
The excursion to the Northcape
globetrott Says: Most people are coming to Honningsvag only in order to go from there to the Northcape / Nordkapp and that was the same for me. The buses took us first to a place, where a Sami-family had their tent and their souvenirshop and it seemed to me that they are living exclusively...

Midnight-sun at Northcape: May 14th till July 29th
globetrott Says: Most tourists prefer to come to the northcape / Nordkap during the summertime, in order to see the so-called "Midnight-Sun" ! In the Arctic summertime the sun is shining almost all day long and for about 2 months you will even see the sunlight to never totally disappear and...
Rica Bryggen Hotel Honningvaag
1 Review and 10 Opinions I expect my comments will only apply in winter (a February visit) when the hotel was very quiet. The...
o00o Says: A walk form the Hurtigruten to the Rica Bryggen Hotell, the sky get darks again, the sun light in the sky for only 45 minutes in winter. The vire from the hotel to the Honningsvag town. Here is the picking up point for Nordkapp tourist. I was the only one and the first one...
lotharlerch Says: The nightlife of Honningsvaag takes place in June and July when crowds of people come to the Nordkapp to enjoy the Mindnight Sun from there. strongly dependent on wind and rain - be prepared for everything in a temperature range of 5 - 25 degrees.

Go to Honnigsvag by Hurtigruten
globetrott Says: Take a Hurtigruten-ship from Bergen or from Kirkenes and in both tours, northbound and southbound you will get to Honnigsvag. Hurtigruten is the name of the famous post-ships cruising every day of the year along the norwegian coast on a fixed schedule between Bergen and...

clangerworld Says: If you are in honningsvag on Saturday or Sunday (I stayed Saturday night) you will find the tourist information and local museum shut. Out of season your choise of restaurant and bars seems to be limited to the microbwerery next to the post office (although the pizza was...
dave_21 Says: I Have two warnings:1. You can't trust the weather in any season, It's just luck if you pick a day when the sun shines! 2. Expensive Road fee!There is no sign that indicates that you have to pay from Alta to Norkap. I can live with that but the amount is very high! You have...
