The islands of Lofoten are mountainous but if you stay at sea level, in other words along the coastline, you’ll find that getting around by bike might just be the best way to explore this area. For a shorter trip, start in Solvær and head west. When you get to Kabelvåg, be sure to stop and visit either the Lofoten Museum or the Lofoten Aquarium, or both if you have the time. Continue your journey to the busy fishing village of Henningsvær, which makes for a total trip of 18 km (11 miles) from Solvær. Another good place for biking is on Moskenesøy where you also have plenty of Rorbu cottages to spend the night if you want to be out for a few days. When in Å, the Southernmost village on the island, don’t forget to visit two interesting museums, the Norwegian fishing Village Museum and the Stockfish Museum.
