What to do and see in Northern Norway, Northern Norway: The Best Traveler Resources

May 1, 2022 Mollie Coke

Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

From Hammerfest, you can explore sea, land, mountain and mountain plain – no matter the season! Population: 10,287. Area, municipality: 844 km².
