Apotek 1 Finnsnes
About
A pharmacy on Senja, Apotek 1 Finnsnes. Storgata 18, 9300 Finnsnes, Norway puts the shop on the main street of Finnsnes, the island's largest town and its link to the mainland.
A rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 18 reviews places Apotek 1 Finnsnes among the better-regarded pharmacies in the area. The pharmacy dispenses prescriptions and stocks everyday remedies for residents and visitors travelling through the region. Opening hours run Mo-Fr 08:30-16:00 and Sa 10:00-14:00, so weekend visits need to fit the shorter Saturday window.
Senja's northern position brings midnight sun in summer and polar night in winter, and coastal waters warmed by the Gulf Stream temper the cold. Fish — cod, herring and salmon — dried, salted or smoked, forms the backbone of the local diet, and white-tailed eagles, puffins, guillemots and otters live around the island's shores.
For travellers driving between Finnsnes, Silsand and the fishing villages of Gryllefjord and Mefjordvær, the pharmacy on Storgata is an easy stop before continuing along the island's roads.
