Arctic Lights

3.5(10 reviews)

About

In Lofoten, Arctic Lights occupies Torget 1, 8300 Svolvær, at the centre of the archipelago's main town. This is a gift shop, and its shelves serve visitors looking for something to take home from the islands.

Arctic Lights is known for its position on the Svolvær waterfront, where the town's harbour and square meet. Ten reviews give it a 3.5 out of 5 average, a modest record from a small number of visitors. First-time visitors should expect a compact shop rather than a large retail space, with the surrounding streets of Svolvær holding cafés and other businesses nearby.

Svolvær, Leknes, Kabelvåg and Henningsvær lie along the same road network, so the shop is easy to fit into a day of travelling between the islands' main settlements. Ballstad, Stamsund, Reine and Å sit further west for those continuing the journey.

White-tailed eagles, puffins, guillemots and otters live around Scandinavian islands and coastal waters, and wildlife themes recur in what visitors look for. Midsummer is marked with bonfires and maypoles on Scandinavian islands, and Lucia processions in December.
