Activities in Vadsø

Vadsø offers many opportunities and is perfect for those who want to experience both organised festivals and natural surroundings.

Vadsø is surrounded by beautiful, untouched landscape. This can be found on your doorstep. Imagine fishing at night with the midnight sun shining above you, warming the surroundings. Or take a walk in the fantastic wilderness. If the wilderness doesn't appeal to you, you can always walk along the water's edge at sundown. If you are lucky, you might see a king crab crawl onto land. In any case, you will always see and hear the rich birdlife.

Winter activities are also plentiful in Vadsø. How about a snow scooter safari or dog-sledging below the northern lights followed by a warm, relaxing outdoor bath in a heated tub? Or an ice fishing trip deep in the mountain plateau? Or fishing for king crabs followed by a gastronomic experience?

But Vadsø is also a "little-big town" that offers something for everyone. How about enjoying the midnight sun and people-watching in the cafes? Or why not buy some freshly-caught prawns from the boats at the water's edge? Or treat yourself to a beer in the town's pub on a boat, a real fishing boat with a bar, sauna and heated bathing tub. If this sounds boring, maybe you could play a round of golf under the midnight sun, or visit one of the town's interesting local museums.
