Harstad, Norway


Nestled on the eastern shores of stunning Hinnøya, Norway’s largest island, Harstad beckons with its active lifestyle and rich history. Hike and even ride an e-bike through a pristine landscape of rolling meadows fringed by towering, jagged mountains, or simply relax shoreside with delightful views of the shimmering Vågsfjorden and its myriad islets. The traditional grass-roofed homes of the Sandtorg Bygdetun immerse you in the life of 18th-century local farmers and fishermen, showcasing intriguing artifacts and workshops from the distant past. Military history buffs will thrill to Meløyvær Fort, a Cold War relic that was once of strategic importance to NATO and features a perfectly preserved control center as well as three 120mm Bofors guns.
