The North Cape Hall is one of the main attractions in Norway. North Cape Hall features a glass-enclosed viewpoint overlooking the Barents Sea, hundreds of feet below. In addition, there are shopping facilities, a post office, chapel, bar, cafés and restaurants, and a wide-screen cinema where the spectacular 14-minute long film takes you on a journey of a landscape filled with contrasts, light and nature.
During your approximate 1.5-hour visit to the North Cape Plateau enjoy this time to set off to sightsee the North Cape Hall on your own. You can explore, take photographs, shop for souvenirs and perhaps write postcards.
