Henningsvær is the Lofoten region's largest and most active fishing village, but nowadays there are as many pleasure boats as fishing boats. Henningsvær with its brightly painted wooden houses and postcard-like harbor is certainly one of the most charming fishing villages in Lofoten. The terraces of the waterside cafés and restaurants are great for hours of observing the bustling life in the harbor. Also worthwhile are fishing trips, booked down at the harbor, as well as a visit to the gallery of the contemporary painter Karl Erik Harr.
