From Svolvær: Explore Nusfjord and Henningsvær
Northern Norway, NorwayStart your self-guided sightseeing day from Svolvær centre of Svinøya Rorbuer. Your first stop is the fishing village of Henningsvær, where you can explore (self-guided) the cosy idyllic village. Hop in one of many handcraft shops, such as candle makers, glass blowing, knitting textiles, local food stores, and so much more. After your visit, hop back on the bus, driving on Lofotens National Scenic Route to Nusfjord, a UNESCO candidate-listed village hidden from the main road.
Upon your arrival, head to Landhandleriet in the center of the small village. A traditional fish soup awaits you (ask for veg/vegan upon arrival). Experience the Arctic taste. After lunch, your guide will pick you up for a 1-hour guided walk in the village.
Although people live in Nusfjord, you can walk and explore the art studio, the quay, and the rorbua.
A tip: end your visit to Nusfjord with a warm waffle with marmalade and traditional Norwegian 'brown cheese' in the Landhandleriet. The old general store dates back to 1907 and has kept its original interior, taking you back in time the moment you enter.
