Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rost?
The best area to stay in Røst is the main island, specifically around the fishing village, which is the heart of the archipelago.

This central area is where you'll find the majority of the island's facilities and services. The fishing village is compact and walkable, with colourful rorbu cabins (traditional fishermen's cabins) dotted along the harbour. You'll find the local shop, a restaurant, and the ferry terminal here, making it very convenient for exploring.

For solo travellers and couples, staying in a rorbu cabin in the fishing village offers an authentic experience. These cabins are often well-appointed with modern amenities, some even featuring fully equipped kitchens, great for enjoying self-catered meals with fresh local seafood. From here, it's easy to arrange boat trips to explore the bird cliffs or go fishing.

Families might also appreciate the convenience of staying in the main village. The proximity to the shop and restaurant makes meal planning straightforward, and the harbour area provides a gentle introduction to island life.
