Finnsnes is the gateway to Senja, an island nearby with snow-topped mountains, deep blue fjords, and emerald-green forests.

The aura of the Northern Lights make the starlit sky their canvas throughout the year.

When you're not star-gazing, the local cafes will serve up some delicious bites that will leave you licking your thumbs, and the friendly stores will ensure your shopping bags are never too light.
