About this place
Svolvær is the largest town in Lofoten and the place where many visitors arrive, shop and book trips. The harbour area has cafés, galleries and fishing boats, and the jagged mountains behind the town are a short walk away. It makes a practical base for day trips in the east.
Local tip
Walk the harbour front early in the morning, before the day-trip traffic builds up.
