NORDKAPP

The North Cape is the northern most community in Finnmark with 924 square kilometers. About half of area is located on an island called Magerøya. The community has approximately 4000 inhabitants. The community administration office is located in the village of Honningsvåg.

Honningsvåg has approximately 3000 of the community's inhabitants. The main trade is fishing, shipping and tourism. Honningsvåg is also known for it's active culture.

The community's name, "North Cape" is also the name of the world famous cliff formation located at the northern point of Magerøya. Every summer the North Cape is visited by several hundred thousand tourist. If you are traveling to Honningsvåg by automobile, the new main land connection (opened June 15, 1999) is the choice for you. The Honningsvåg airport has daily flights operated by Widerøe. Another travel option that we recommend is the Coastal Steamer (Hurtigruten) which arrives in Honningsvåg twice daily. On its way to Kirkenes it stays  long enough in Honningsvåg that it is time enough to go with the busses to North Cape, stay there for a while  and return back again to the ship. By the way: one of the coastal steamer ships bear the name Nordkapp.
