The ultimate Fishing Culture and Viking trip in Lofoten with Arctic Route

A wonderful day trip within Lofoten!

Hop on the Arctic Route bus, and dive into one of Norway’s best-preserved villages: Nusfjord. In order to keep the village picture-perfect, an entrance fee is required, though this is included in this ticket. Although the fisher village is a must-see, it is the entrance route towards Nusfjord that will leave you speechless. A unique possibility via the Arctic Route.

Afterward, you head further east towards the famous Lofotr Viking Museum, where you can roam around for 3 hours. You will make good use of this time, by wandering around the Viking Longhouse, walking towards the lake, going rowing on a Viking ship or even joining an axe-throwing game. This is all included in your entrance ticket. Much joy for all ages.

On the way back, we stop for a visit to Lofoten Surf Camp, to admire the impressive Skagsanden beach and the landmark church of Flakstad.
