About Honningsvag


JuteVilla
Honningsv�g at 70� 58' N, in Nordkapp municipality, claims to be the northernmost city in Norway and even in the world, although the title is disputed by Hammerfest, Norway; Barrow, Alaska; and Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Legislation effective from 1997 states that a Norwegian city must have 5,000 inhabitants, but Honningsv�g with its population of 2367 (in 2009) was declared a city in 1996, thus exempt from this legislation. It is situated at a bay on the southern side of Mager�ya island, while the famous North Cape and its visitors center is on the northern side. It is a port of call for cruise ships, especially in the summer months. Honningsv�g Airport, Valan is located 4 km outside the town, with flights to mainly Troms�
