Holiday in Nordkap

About Nordkap

The North Cape is the northernmost point in Europe reachable by road – a 307-meter high cliff on the island of Magerøya, dramatically rising above the Arctic Ocean and captivating travelers from all over the world for centuries. For German tourists, the journey to the North Cape is more than just a destination – it is an epic journey through the wildest and loneliest landscapes of Europe, past fjords, plateaus, and fishing villages that seem to lie at the end of the world. From May to July, the midnight sun shines 24 hours a day, bathing the Arctic landscape in an unreal, golden perpetual light. The moment when you stand at the North Cape plateau at midnight and the sun does not set over the Arctic Ocean is one of the most intense natural experiences that Europe has to offer. The North Cape Hall features an exhibition on the history of the cape, a panoramic cinema, and the legendary champagne bar with possibly the most spectacular view of any bar in the world. The road to the North Cape is part of the adventure: the E69 from Honningsvåg to the North Cape winds through a moon-like tundra landscape, where reindeer herds cross the road in winter. Honningsvåg, the nearest town, is a charming fishing village with colorful wooden houses and the Arctic Ocean Museum. The island of Magerøya itself is accessible via the spectacular North Cape Tunnel, which runs 212 meters beneath the seabed. For German travelers, there are several ways to get there: flying to Honningsvåg or Hammerfest, the legendary Hurtigruten postal cruise along the Norwegian coast, or the great North Cape driving route through Scandinavia, which is already an unforgettable journey in itself. The region is shrouded in polar night from November to January, maximizing the chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
