Popular destinations and sights in the North Cape: On the Norwegian island of Mageröya, a slate plateau rises steeply from the Arctic Ocean – the North Cape. The North Cape is considered the northernmost point of mainland Europe. Approximately 200,000 tourists visit this attraction annually, even though, geographically speaking, the actual northernmost point of the mainland is Nordkinn. The North Cape is approximately 2,100 km from the North Pole. This breathtaking plateau lies on the approximately 307-meter-high North Cape rock. From here, you have breathtaking views, and the famous Northern Lights can also be observed here. The North Cape is also the starting point of a 4,900 km long long-distance hiking trail that leads tourists through wonderful landscapes and untouched nature. During the midnight sun in summer, it never gets completely dark at the North Cape. Likewise, it never gets light for about two and a half months. The so-called "North Cape Hall" houses an information center about this exciting high plateau. There's a restaurant, a chapel, historical exhibits, and a wealth of information on the history of the North Cape. There's also a post office where you can receive a North Cape diploma, postmarked with the current date. Mail delivered receives a special "North Cape stamp."
The North Cape Post Office does not have fixed opening hours, as it is located in the North Cape Hall, which is open daily throughout the year. The North Cape Hall is a visitor center with various facilities, including a souvenir shop and a post office. For precise information on the post office's opening hours, we recommend contacting the North Cape Hall directly or consulting the North Cape Municipality website, as opening hours may vary, especially outside of peak season.
