Reine

Getting ashore

Ships call at Reine, a village in the Lofoten islands. Passengers land at the harbour quay or by tender, depending on the ship.

The Lofoten weather can change quickly. The paths up the mountains are steep and can be slippery. Bring warm, waterproof clothes.

Reine is one of the most photographed villages in Norway, with red rorbuer cabins on the water, mountains rising behind and a harbour.

The Reinebringen peak is a steep climb with stairs and views over the village. It is a demanding walk, and the view from the top is the reward.

Kvalvika beach is reached by a long walk over the mountain, and the Haukland and Uttakleiv beaches are reached by road.

Lofoten food includes cod, stockfish, Arctic char and local cheese. The harbour restaurants are the easiest choice.

The currency is the Norwegian krone. Cards are accepted in most places. Mobile signal is good in the village.

The harbour is flat, but the mountain trails are very steep. Ask your operator for accessible transport, which is limited on the island.
