About location

Stangnes has served as a residential area in the southern part of Harstad in northern Norway since the 20th century. Set on the island of Hinnøya, it follows the built-up corridor of Route 83, one of the main roads through the Harstad area. Housing, local businesses and dedicated walking and cycling infrastructure line this suburban stretch, while wooded ground rises behind the neighbourhood. Harstad stands beside Vågsfjorden, a branch of the Norwegian Sea, and its urban development is closely tied to sheltered coastal routes around the island. The wider town is also known for Festspillene i Nord-Norge, the annual Arctic Arts Festival founded in 1965. Stangnes provides a practical urban edge to a town shaped by the sea, islands and transport connections.
