Honningsvåg's Nordkapp Museum, upstairs and in the same block as the tourist office, il-
lustrates the impact of early visitors to the cape, the hard days in the immediate aftermath
of WWII and the daily life of a town that, until the advent of tourism, lived primarily from
the sea.
Church
CHURCH
(Kirkegata; 8am-10pm mid-May-mid-Sep)
The 19th-century church was the only building in town to survive the Nazis' scorched-
earth retreat in 1944. For a time it was a communal dwelling until the first new houses
were hastily erected.

lent budget choice. There's a cosy lounge, washing machine, well-equipped kitchen for
