Hammerfest
Hammerfest
This 10,000-strong fishing town claims to be the northernmost town in the world. If its name sounds familiar, it’s the place Bill Bryson hung around at the start of Neither Here Nor There waiting to be gobsmacked by the Northern Lights. While you’re waiting for this celestial display of psychedelia, check out the Royal & Ancient Polar Bear Society and the reindeer grazing in the Hammerfest graveyard.
