Svolvær is an artist’s paradise, known for its vibrant summers. On this self-guided walking tour through the heart of this small town in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, you’ll find out that its history is just as magnificent as its scenery!

The tour starts on the main square, between Torget street and the harbor, where you’ll take a leisurely stroll through the city center. You’ll cross the bridge to the historical Svinøya island where you’ll have captivating views of Svolvær. I’ll tell you some exciting stories that have shaped the town, including the tale of the 1941 Lofoten Raid, when British and Norwegian soldiers carried out a daring and heroic attack on German forces occupying the area.
