Why Henningsvær matters

Henningsvær sits on a cluster of islands linked by bridges, with fishing boats, galleries and cafes crowding the harbour. A football pitch on a rocky outcrop has become an internet-famous photo from above. The village is lively in summer with artists and climbers. A winding road from Svolvær brings you here through open sea views.
