Honningsvåg – gateway to the North Cape
Honningsvåg (help·info) is the northernmost city in mainland Norway. It is located in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county. Honningsvåg was declared a city in 1996, despite its small population. The 1.05-square-kilometre (260-acre) town has a population of 2,484 (2017) which gives the town a population density of 2,366 inhabitants per square kilometre (6,130/sq mi).[1]

Honningsvåg is situated at a bay on the southeastern side of the large island of Magerøya, while the famous North Cape and its visitor center is on the northern side of the island. Honningsvåg is a port of call for Hurtigruten Coastal Express and cruise ships, especially in the summer months. The ice-free ocean (the southwestern part of the Barents Sea) provides rich fisheries and tourism is also important to the town. Even at 71°N, many private gardens in Honningsvåg have trees, although rarely more than 3 to 4 metres (9.8 to 13.1 ft) tall.[3]

The famous dog Bamse came from Honningsvåg.
