In a nutshell
North Cape
Nordic Lights / Aurora Borealis at Nordkapp
globetrott Says: The Nordic Lights / Aurora Borealis at Nordkappthat's a very special natural phenomenon that you can watch mainly in wintertime and you need to have a perfect combination of various situations:1) the sky has to be without clouds2) the sky needs to be dark, so you are able to...
globetrott Says: An artificial bird-rockthat is another attraction for the tourists inside the Nordkapp-Hallen, just in case that the weather is not good enough to enjoy this very special place at the edge of Europe.You will hardly ever be able to get as close to a birdrock in reality...
Nordkapp Hallen: lots of places, mostly empty
globetrott Says: The selfservice-restaurant of nordkapphallen offers a great view but it is also quite expensive to eat there and obviously most people are in a hurry and would spend their precious time there out in the landscape or in one of the museums etc. instead of going to this...
Travelling to Nordkapp midwinter
angiebabe Says: Hi I think the best way, if not the only way, is by travelling on the Hirtigruten coastal voyager boat. I did it in Feb a few years ago and got on at Harstad and they stop long enough on their northward route to make excursions available to Nordkapp - they have to have a...
How to get to Nordkapp from Honningsvag
globetrott Says: In case that you arrive in Honningsvag by Hurtigruten or any other ship I can only highly recommend to book the tours of your cruiseship, although those are the most expensive tours that you can think of. You simply will not have enough time there to organize anything there...
Sami souvenirs: furs & other souvenirs
globetrott Says: This shop will be along the road to the Northcape and it is worth a short stop-over like we did in our buses organized by Hurtigruten. You can also take a look inside the tents of the Sami and see one of their rendeers. You get here more or less the same kind of...
globetrott Says: Trolls - you will find them all over Norwayand one of them is waiting for you inside the Nordkapphallen, posing patiently for the tourists photos.Trolls are living out in the woods and they are a lot smaller than the one here in my photos. The best place to meet the trolls...
globetrott Says: Sami-tents are quite interestingmost of them are round and they had a stove inside. Just imagine living there all year long in summer and winter and take these tents down, pack them and build them the other day again at a place that has enough grass for the rendeer-herds....
forget about "the famous postmark"
globetrott Says: Send your mail from the Northkapp and you will get a special postmark !??? (;-(((Well I think this is rather a tourist-trap and what you get is not really worth it in my personal opinion.Yes, when you look at the envelopes in my 3rd photo they might look great, but once that...
1000 NOK to get a cup of coffee
SailorRoar Says: First of all: No it's not worth going there. If you have a lot of time I will tell you why, if not you can skip to the bottom of the post to see the number 1 reason not to go tp Nordkapp. I was at North Cape (Nordkapp) a few weeks ago. I am not understating anything when I...
Dr.Styranki Says: It wasn't easy to reach Nord Cape in the past by walk and boat, and it is not definetely easier today. Roads are good and tunnels fine but all cost heavily.Using the Nord Cape tunnel (6 875 m) itself is an experience, and for that enterntainment you are milked NOK 140 for a...
ALWAYS CARRY A RELIABLE MOSQUITOE REPELLANT
DennyP Says: These are the neccesary items that I carry when travelling :A small backpack that carries all my camera gear and lenses.Also I ALWAYS carry sufficient fresh bottled drinking water. A wide brimmed hat for strong summer sun .A good pair of sunglasses A comfortable pair of...
DanDidriksen Says: The northernmost point in Europe is Knivskjellodden and not North Cape. It's 1500 meters more north than North Cape. You will have to walk 9 km each way to get there. It's an easy trip with only one very steep point. I would say that everyone that can do a 18 km walk, would...
You want to take a look north ?
globetrott Says: You want to take a look north ?This small monument shows you the position of the Nordkapp and the arrow is pointing exactely to the Northpole. Thats a place that you should not miss to take a photo at, its also quite close to the place where you enter the Nordkap-hall
globetrott Says: The Gallery east of the sunis also the northmost gallery of the continent of Europe. It is an interesting collection of paintings of modern art, featuring animals and the great scenery in the north of Europe.Maybe you would like to take a look at the gallery when its nasty...
globetrott Says: The Nordkapp & WW IIThe german troops had occupied Norway and also the Nordkap in WW II and for the ships and submarines of the Soviet Union it was not always easy to reach their homeport of Murmansk, so they had to go in convoys and this small museum/exhibition tells you...
St.Johannes Kapell - the chapel of Northcape
globetrott Says: St.Johannes Kapell is the chapel on Northcapeand it was built there in 1990 as an ecumenical church and you might also celebrate your wedding there, but be prepared, this chapel is not very large and you might have to "share it" with thousands of visitors every day in the...
globetrott Says: The Thai Museum at Nordkapp was a big surprise for me, because this attraction is rather new. It is just a small room with ornate decorations and you will pass by it, while walking down inside the Northcape-building towards the "king's view"This small museum was built in...
I have been there...taking photos
adema29 Says: To be there... nothing else I have been traveling almost 4 hours in a very crowded bus together with a lot of very drunk persons. I have reached the place at 5 minutes to midnight, good occasion to make hundred photos together with the others 200 people. I have found as a...
Polish_Mila Says: The reindeer is a medium-sized member of the deer family. Reindeer are strong runners and very good swimmers. This deer is found in Arctic tundra, forests, and mountains in Russia, Northern China, Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia. Some reindeer migrate in huge herds from the...

A: The road to North Cape is not an all year around road. You won't be able to get there. Besides it's a tourist trap. People have driven all the way from Rome and turned...

71 Degrees, 10 Minutes, 21 Seconds North
It was a long trip. We needed planes, trains, automobiles, boats, and buses (not to mention 2 1/2 weeks) to get here. But here we were -- as far north as you can get in Europe without buying a plane...
