Here are some ideas that might inspire you\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">In our day and age, a lot of people go to beauty spots shown on Instagram. This means that some locations can be literally overran by visitors, all taking basically the same photos. We think it&#8217;s part of the experience that you get to see the Midnight Sun without the crowds, so we have put together a little collection of places that are out of the way. Expect no souvenir store or cafe on the premises, instead roam, discover and find your own experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Knivskjellodden-in-Skarsv\u00e5g-with-Midnight-Sun-II-Photo-Credit-@Kjell-Bendik-Pedersen.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Knivskjellodden-in-Skarsv\u00e5g-with-Midnight-Sun-II-Photo-Credit-@Kjell-Bendik-Pedersen.jpg\" alt=\"Midnight Sun at the &quot;Church gate&quot; - Kirkeporten.

The cable car runds from the closed-down coal mines, and the pylons are a characteristic part of the history of the islands. Walk about Longyearbyen in the midnight hour, in June and July the sun is way above the horizon, and see the sleeping town.

The houses built for the lighthouse keepers, now a small guesthouse and caf\u00e9, are a lovely collection of the simple, yet lovely shapes of reconstruction architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Midnight Sun shines from the 12th of May to the 30th of July<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-halde-hill-near-karasjok-shows-you-the-midnight-sun-mirroring-in-a-thousand-lakes\">Halde Hill near Karasjok shows\nyou the Midnight Sun mirroring in a thousand lakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The flattish high plateau of Finnmarksvidda has few hills.

Cape<\/a>, Nordkapp, is the end of the world, and it\u2019s a classic visit for any traveller. However, once you\u2019ve been there, you might want to try a totally different experience. Go by car or bike to the fishing village of Skarsv\u00e5g, the world\u2019s northernmost. From there, walk about 1 km cross a little isthmus. There you see a natural arch, and through the opening you see the Mefjord, the North Cape itself and the chararcteristic horn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Midnight Sun is visible from the 12th of May to the 30th of July &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-sp-kenes-you-see-the-lyngen-alps-and-the-midnight-sun\">From Sp\u00e5kenes you see the\nLyngen Alps and the Midnight Sun <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the wild,\nmountainous area of the Lyngen Alps you cannot rely on seeing the midnight sun\neverywhere, the towering mountains may block the way.
