Sometimes you have to travel to the very end of the Earth to find the perfect setting for a holiday, and with Honningsvag lying just 20 miles from the North Cape, you'll struggle to find anywhere on the planet that's quite as breathtaking as this charming fishing town.
Of course, to call Honningsvag just a village would be to do it a major disservice, as while it's true that the colourful wooden houses of this jovial settlement are home to just a handful of local residents, the main attractions on offer here are rather astronomical in stature. Indeed, the celestial bodies themselves can be viewed here like nowhere else on earth, with the midnight sun illuminating the skies 24/7 during the summer months, while the eternal darkness of the Polar Night in winter provides the perfect canvas for the legendary Northern Lights.
Most tourists choose to visit during the summer, when the temperature is a balmy 9 degrees Celsius and the sun never sets. Because of this, time simply ceases to exist, so you won't have to worry about there not being enough hours in the day to get your fill of fjords, mountains and fresh seafood.
