Journey to the northern tip of Europe and find Skarsvåg, a fishing community that is as welcoming as it is rugged. This village, located on the northern coast of Norway’s Mageroya Island, is populated by mere scores of locals who fish, cook or create art with apparent indifference to the area’s harsh conditions. Try homemade delicacies in town or journey around the North Cape and experience Europe’s northernmost landscape. Skarsvåg consists of a small cluster of cottages, shops and boats nestled alongside the sea. Visit the cosy Skarsvåg church, taste exceptional seafood at the restaurant or share homemade mulled wine with friendly locals. Stop by the Gallery East of the Sun to see artworks created by a local painter. Meet local fishermen tending their boats and get a souvenir photograph holding a massive king crab. Above the restaurant, browse the Christmas House, which sells homey trinkets and features a Christmas tree decorated year-round. The constant Christmas theme is made all the more charming by herds of reindeer roaming the countryside around Skarsvåg. Spot them grazing on the walk around North Cape to the Kirkeporten, a natural rock formation that looks like an arch. Photograph this dramatic landscape, which was a traditional place for indigenous sacrifice ceremonies in pre-Christian times. Afterward, camp at the Kirkeporten RV site and enjoy fish soup under the northern lights. Skarsvåg is a 30-minute drive north from the nearest airport on Mageroya, located at Honningsvag. Alternatively, boat here on an arctic cruise tour. Visit in the warmer months between May and August for the best weather and most enjoyable trip. Venture into the wild around Skarsvåg on a tour of the North Cape. Take the challenging hike up the Knivskjellodden peninsula to reach the northernmost point of the island and almost of Europe. In Nordkapp see the St. Johannes Chapel, visit the world’s northernmost post office and watch a documentary about the region’s history at the North Cape visitor centre. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-uk-fr-de.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Holiday Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and holiday homes.
