The most photogenic village in Lofoten — a tight cluster of red and yellow wooden warehouses, painted houses, and fishing rorbuer clustered on a handful of small islets and connected to the rest of Austvågøya by a dramatic causeway crossing a kilometre of open sea. The drive in from the main road is half the point: low sun, bare rock skerries, the village appearing across the water.
Henningsvær has a working harbour with a small fishing fleet, two excellent galleries (the Engelskmannsbrygga and Kaviar Factory), a handful of cafés and craft shops, and Norway's most photographed football ground. It is crowded in summer and worth visiting then anyway. Out of season it feels like the end of the world.
