Lying at the very top of Europe, Finnmark is the northernmost part of Norway that reaches around Sweden and meets Finland. This is the heart of Norwegian Lapland, where Karasjok is the cultural and political seat of Sami life. Though Norway's biggest county by size, Finnmark has the fewest people. Alta, the biggest city with just 17,000, is called the Town of Northern Lights for its great views of the phenomenon. Alta Museum is largely devoted to local rock carvings from thousands of years ago.

Just two kilometres off the main road to the North Cape is the picturesque fishing village of Kamøyvær. The idyllic setting and opportunity to meet the artist make the detour well worthwhile. A visit can easily be combined with a trip to the North Cape.
I already started noticing some cool unique paintings up in the North Cape Center and then in a few places in Honningsvåg so then I wasn't so surprised when I saw the gallery "West of the Moon", but unfortunately it was closed due to covid, so I investigated a bit and found out there was a sister gallery in Kamøyvær so I headed there and found "East of the Sun" which, luckily, although it was closed, the artist, Eva Schmutterer lives close by and could stop by and let me have a look inside. Very cool unique paintings and ways to present them. Don't miss this place, you won't regret it.

What a magical experience to stay at Wild Caribou at their dome tent! The bed is amazing comfortable, and the dome is very delicatly decorated. To sit and enjoy the beautiful nature and relax was so tranquil and amazing. We had such a good time meeting the dogs, cuddeling and even feeding them! Will definetly come back in wintertime to go sleeding. The stay was completed by a delicate and tasty breakfast in the dome the next morning, with lots of good food and even fresh eggs from their own chickens.

Started by Gunnar “Puskas” Schwaiger and his wife Lisbeth back in the 80s. This little shop with almost everything Music related has had an huge impact on the local Cultural scene in Alta. In the summer of 2018 Gunnar decided to sell the shop to five younger guys. The new owners have also inculded a bar/cafe with food and drinks.

Boble glasshytte is Finnmark’s first and only glassblowing studio, with an open workshop and sales gallery. The workshop is located in Sapmi park in Karasjok, alongside many other exciting local attractions. The heart and centre of the glasstudio is the furnace, where the hot, glowing mass of molten glass is lovingly blown and crafted into cold, hard and beautiful glass products while you watch. All the glass in the sales galler is made right here. Want to try glassblowing yourself? Contact us for bookings, and we'll help you blow your very own ornament or drinking glasses!

Our gallery in Honningsvåg is located just a few minutes' walk from the harbour and from Scandic Honningsvåg. Its convenient location makes it ideal for visitors with a busy sightseeing schedule. Moreover, it is open all year round.
Great place to buy original and beautiful souvenirs from Norway (and easy to pack.) They sell paper art, miniature cloth reindeer and other artistic creations. It was a Sunday. As we glanced through the window, the shop manager opened early for us. Although skeptical about going here (because the cruise ship excursion guides recommended it), we were pleasantly surprised.
