Berlevag

Berlevåg is a municipality nestled in the northwestern part of Norway's Varanger Peninsula, bordering the icy waters of the Barents Sea. With a population of around 892, this close-knit community thrives on fishing, fish processing, and trades. The main village, also called Berlevåg, and Kongsfjord are the hubs of this maritime way of life.

History buffs will be captivated by the Berlevåg Harbour Museum, showcasing the evolution of the harbor, its fishing and shipping heritage, and even remnants of World War II. Nature lovers can explore the dramatic coastline and visit the Kjølnes Lighthouse, guarding the seaward entrance to Berlevåg. For a unique cultural experience, head to the Arctic Glass Studio, where skilled artisans transform glass into beautiful modern utensils and decorative objects.  Those seeking a memento of their visit can browse the studio's shop or local stores like SPAR Berlevåg and Narvesen.  While nightlife might be limited, Berlevåg's true charm lies in its deep-rooted community spirit and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it.
