What i like most about Henningsvær is the mountains and the fishermenn were there boats laying very fascinating towards the mountain. The people very approachable and we've been to one store name engelskbrygge if i'm not mistaken or kiramikk making glasses. She was very nice i asked her what is Henningsvær why a lot of tourists people from other countries visit this place. She explained to me on why, due to mountais, old town, the fish hanging all over the place is fascinating, football field and around that place, the rocks is very special, the waves from the ocean, the fishermann boats laying straight to the mountain, small village but full of life. This place is easy to get around.

Very nice town, small but with amazing views. The harbour is great with its view on the very high mountain. They have a unique football stadium built on the rocky island and some very nice shops and cafes.

Recommend the hike up Festvågtind, but it is steep and not for inexperienced hikers. If you look around you might find the street artist Pøbel's work "Pipe smoking fisherman" on one of the silos. Has its own community for climbers.

Henningsvær is as close as you can get to a traditional Norwegian fishing village. We stayed in a "rorbu" (traditional fishermans cabin, modernized to standard of today) and Henningsvær was a perfect base for our stay in Lofoten. We stayed at Fiskekrogen Rorbuer, which was great. The village has several good restaurants, serving both traditional Norwegian food (you must try stockfish, which is the very base of trade in Henningsvær) and other food as well. Really recommend the Fiskekrogen Restaurant (yes, same as the rorbu in our case). Other cool places is the Klatrekafeen (The Climbing Cafe), which even had a super vibrant DJ one evening and the party hit the roof!! Other cool places, especially for younger people is the Trevarefabrikken, which is both a cafe and a cool place to spend the evening. They even have their own Trevarefestival, a festival with cool music during the summer. In addition you will find cozy shops and cafes scattered around. You really MUST go for a fishing-trip with one of the fishing boats. We went with the traditional fishingboat Kveldsol and Captain Håvard. He speaks very good English and knows about the good fishing spots. Don't worry about being cold. Håvard provides warm and cozy survival suits for everybody. All of us got fish, and we cooked our own 8 kg cod in the evening. Unforgettable! We even spotted the sea eagle!

Henningsvær, in my opinion, is one of the best places to stay while visiting Lofoten. You have a small town with valuable amenities and some great restaurants. Plus it is beautiful, charming and the locals were very friendly to us!

Really nice small town, visit the light house, glass factory, Cousy nice shops for gifts, really nice to walk around the village with typical Norwegian houses, sea view. Couple of great restaurant with great views.
