Why Reine matters

Reine is the postcard image of Lofoten: red cabins at the water's edge, sharp peaks rising behind and a calm bay in front. It's a working fishing village, so you may see cod drying on racks in season. Hikes to nearby viewpoints reward you with sweeping views, and boat trips go out among the islands. In winter the aurora sometimes dances over the village.

Talking points

  • Cod drying racks are a traditional sight.
  • Viewpoints above the village give famous photos.
  • Red rorbu cabins can be rented for stays.
