Explore the galleries and the rorbua
Although people actually live in Nusfjord, you have the freedom to walk and explore the art studio, the quay, and the rorbua. A tip: end your visit to Nusfjord with a warm waffle with marmalade and traditional Norwegian 'brown cheese' in the Landhandleriet. The old general store dates back to 1907 and has kept its original interior, taking you back in time the moment you enter.
