Honningsvåg is the northernmost city in Norway. It is located in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county. Legislation effective in 1997 states that a Norwegian city/town (same word in Norwegian) must have at least 5,000 inhabitants, but Honningsvåg was declared a city in 1996, thus exempt from this legislation, so it is also one of the smallest cities in Norway. The 1.05-square-kilometre (260-acre) town has a population (2017) of 2,484 which gives the town a population density of 2,366 inhabitants per square kilometre (6,130/sq mi).
Honningsvåg is situated at a bay on the southeastern side of the large island of Magerøya, while the famous North Cape and its visitor center is on the northern side of the island. Honningsvåg is a port of call for cruise ships, especially in the summer months. The ice-free ocean (southwestern part of the Barents Sea) provides rich fisheries and tourism is also important to the town. Even at 71°N, many private gardens in Honningsvåg have trees, although rarely more than 3 to 4 metres (9.8 to 13.1 ft) tall.
Immersed in the atmosphere of the majestic North, Alta in Norway offers a unique combination of wilderness, cultural heritage, and Arctic serenity. This town in the Finnmark region is famous for its ancient rock carvings, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for being one of the best places in the country to witness the dazzling Northern Lights. Alta is also a gateway to Arctic plateau expeditions and unforgettable tours through icy caves and snowy forests.
Alta is not only a land of natural wonders but also a center of modern Arctic life, where Sámi traditions blend harmoniously with Norwegian innovation. Visitors can experience the famous Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, taste Arctic fish stew, or ride a dog sled. In every season, the town welcomes travelers to rediscover the North—with warmth, hospitality, and unforgettable polar adventures.
