Finnsnes

Few towns in Troms og Finnmark have a history as closely tied to transport across the Gisundet strait as Finnsnes. On the mainland opposite Senja, Norway’s second-largest island, it grew from a ferry landing into the service centre for the Midt-Troms area. The Gisund Bridge, opened in 1972, replaced the ferry connection and remains the town’s defining link to Silsand on Senja. Finnsnes is also a port of call for Hurtigruten’s coastal service, placing it on the sea route between Tromsø and the Lofoten area. Its waterfront setting reflects the narrow sounds, islands and mountain horizons of northern Norway. Move on to other webcams in Troms og Finnmark to compare coastal settings around Finnsnes.
