Stokmarknes Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Stokmarknes

Stokmarknes is considered the "birthplace" of the Hurtigruten because Richard With founded the Vesterålen Steamship Company here in 1881. As a result, the port of Stokmarknes has been visited by ships of the line twice a day since 1922. The inhabitants engage in agriculture, livestock farming, fishing and shipbuilding as their main occupations. The Børøy Bridge and Hadsel Bridge connect Stokmarknes to the island of Langøya to the north. Stokmarknes Airport, Skagen is located on Langøya, just over the bridges from Stokmarknes.
