Svolvær travel guide
Norway · Top sights · trending spots
Svolvær is the capital of Lofoten, where the cod fishery has run for a thousand years — the racks of drying fish along the shore are the oldest industry in Norway still working the same way.
Rorbuer, the fishermen's cabins on stilts, are now the way to stay. Boats run into the narrow Trollfjord. Henningsvær nearby has a football pitch on bare rock surrounded by sea, which is photographed more than it is played on.
