Eggum
A northern fishing village facing the Norwegian Sea with unobstructed views. It is a classic Lofoten spot for watching the midnight sun.
Eggum lies on the north coast of Vestvågøy. Along the shore are the remains of a WWII German radar station and the sculpture “Hodet” (The Head). A coastal footpath leads west to Unstad (about 9 km). In summer, Eggum is a gathering place for motorhomes and campers, and the midnight sun hovers just above the horizon without setting. The car park charges a small fee. It is about a 15-minute drive from the Viking Museum, so both can be visited in one day.
