Vestvågøy's tourist office is tucked into the ground floor of Lofotsenteret, a large shopping
centre in the lacklustre town of Leknes.
Getting There & Away
Up to eight flights daily connect Leknes airport with Bodø. Leknes has bus connections to
Å (1¾ hours, four to five daily), Stamsund (25 minutes, three to seven daily) and Svolvær
(1½ hours, four to six daily). Stamsund is the island's port for the Hurtigruten coastal ferry.
Flakstadøy
Pop 1535
Most of Flakstadøy's residents live along its flat north shore, around the town of Ramberg,
but, as with Vestvågøy, it's the craggy south side that has the most dramatic scenery. Many
visitors just zip through but it's worth stopping to sun yourself (sandy beaches are the ex-
ception in Lofoten) and perhaps to build in a detour to the arty village of Nusfjord.
