On the sheltered, eastern slopes of the Hinnøya Island, overlooking the Vågsfjord, you find Harstad with its colourful centre of Art Nouveau, traditional wooden Scandi and modernity. Young as a city, Harstad was a Viking and Medieval power centre. Today, the city is known for the delicious food and the lively culture scene.
