Good place to go, it's fun to think you're actually there! Unfortunately, wanted to make it to Knivskjelodden but it's impossible in the winter time due to the restrictions for the road use (you can only get to North Cape in convoy at certain times). Though it's not really an amazing place, I sure am glad I've been there and seen it and would recommend it if you're in the area.

The answer to the title above is 'When it is a trip with MS Finnmarken of the Hurtigruten Shipping Line'. We planned this voyage some time in 2014, we new from speaking to a friend that it was not a cruise, so we went with an open mind, not exactly knowing what to expect. We had never been to Norway before, so we new that what ever we did would be an adventure to us, and so it was. Norway is a series of islands separated by water (fjords) so apart from two islands being close together to connect with a bridge the main transport between them is limited to either boats or ships, you could say that the Hurtigruten Shipping Line is a cross between a bus and a lorry, it picks up passengers to take them to another island, it collects and deliverers both cargo and post, it has a jail below decks were prisoners are delivered for sentencing, and it takes the likes of us on a voyage up the Norwegian coast. We flew into Bergen and did our own thing before boarding the boat in late afternoon, our destination was the North Cape being the furthest North you could get, then sailing back to Bergen.This is one trip that is worth putting on your list of things to do. Briefly the food on the MS Finnmarken was first class, Cabins where adequate, we chose an inside one which takes four people, so with two peoples we had plenty of room, we looked at the ones with porthole on outside not worth the extra money you pay for them. Cabin and other staff very friendly, unlike a cruise ship that have a lot of add on's like daily tips etc:which you have to pay even if you did not like the service, this shipping line do not have these aggravating extra charges. We had luck in seeing the Northern Lights on several occasions, getting a good photo is a problem with the ship rolling, and being at night, even the people with expensive equipment did not get photo's, so it is pot luck really. Boredom at times could be a problem, you need to take plenty of games and books and anything else to occupy yourself when not in port, being a working ship, it does lack an entertainments officer, who could organize things to do when sailing.Overall a good holiday, you can send for a book which cost around £25. Norway does not have any unemployment at all, wages and salaries in Norway are on average 50% more than in Britain so be prepared for you saying ' How Much' food is very expensive, burger & fries around £16, a 25g bag of crisps around £1.20, bottle of coke or similar around £2.20, so remember the Scouts motto 'Be Prepared'. Even with these prices the trip is well worth doing, reading this you will go with your eyes wide open, unlike us.

We took this tour on one of the stops from the Hurtigruten ship. The bus took us to North Cape. On the way, it was just rough terrain and views of the North most hotel, petrol station, fishing village and tourist centre. I do admire the drivers of the buses, cars and snow plough, To do this everyday during the winter months in the dark roads etc, are very demanding. I salute to them. To even attract people to work in the North Cape tourist centre, managing the shop café theatre, I also salute to them. The views at North cape, the weather conditions and the shows at the Theatre should not be missed, We were lucky as it only snowed when we got there and not travelling. A trip that opened my eyes to how the people lived at the North. Would go again in a different season.

It's very touristy but that does not diminish the beauty of this place. If you have the stamina for cold & wind, stay outside and take a walk to explore surroundings. Beware of thick fog that descends fast. Glad that we took the long drive to come and see this place. Highly recommended.

A visit to Norway and the North Cape should not be missed if possible. It is a rugged and exposed place yet at the same time beautiful the visitor center there is very interesting. The journey by road to the North Cape is dramatic including visits with the indigenous peoples.

Dont miss this attraction it is the most spectacular view I have ever seen.We arrived with the aid of a snow plough because the road up to the cape is normally closed for winter - that was all part of the experience.

Wow! what a place to visit when the snow is on the ground and no daylight. We even had to travel in convey being led by a snow plough. In December it is by no means full of tourist and the feeling of being at the northern most land point is a unique experience. I enjoyed the film which depicted the North Cape through the seasons, which due to limited views outside, was very informative. Great gift shop, something for everyone.

The view from the craggy rock face at lands end of North Cape gave us a sense of the history of the waters beyond the Cape which the visitors centre does a great job of illustrating. Good gift shop with lots of items plus a post office.

We had gotten the advice from home that you must see the weather forcast before you run to the north cape, we had the opportunity and came on a cold one very clear day October 1, 2014 just before 12 o'clock noon and had the entire outdoor area to ourselves. It is advisable to be on the north cape little before 12 pm when the buses with tourists from Honningsvåg arrive at 12:30.

Went as part of a tour from Hurtigruten cruise, blessed with no wind, clear skies and a warm sun so had great 360 degree views. Enjoyed the drive to the Cape and the tour guide more than the actual Cape itself. Stopped at Sami shop for pictures of Sami man with his reindeer,could buy from souvenir shop,but absolutely no pressure. At the Cape toured sculptures outside and then saw film of life on the island.

We went in early September as part of a group tour during the Hurtigruten Cruise. The bus trip out there (about 30kms) was very informative and the guide did well speaking in 3 languages. Pointed out lots of history and key sites on the way, we also stopped off at a Sami Summer Camp (little tourist place) which was souvenirs, photos and a bit of fun.The actual North Cape site is very well set up and ran smoothly. There is a great movie runs every 20 mins or so to get you in the mood about the wildlife and struggles in the harsh climate. Plenty of time in the 1.5 hrs we had there for photos and to check the displays inside, plus shop for souvenirs. Watch out though - the basic souvenirs (socks, tea towels and serviettes) were almost half the price at Polaria down in Tromso.Well worth a visit though for the drive out there and getting a good feel for the place.

Go and see. Tourists there? Of course! But that does not diminish the sheer beauty of the site. Stunning. 360 degrees views of the sea and the land. The North Cape is wide and flat, like a table mountain, so there is plenty of space. The changing skies are a delight. As is the rugged landscape.

We were lucky enough to visit on a day when the sun was shining and with no wind. The visitors centre had the usual retail opportunities but done in a stylish and thoughtful way, although this also meant that everything was a it pricy even by Norwegian standards. The panoramic video in the purpose designed cinema was excellent and highly evocative of the location, the wilderness, wildness and dramatic climate of the north Cape were well represented. The underground walk with the chapel and various tableau were also extremely well put together. Of course the main event so to speak is the actual North Cape itself with the globe at the top were breath taking. A must visit place.
