Local Tips
Public transport is limited, consider renting a car or using bikes. Many attractions close in winter, so check hours in advance. Layered clothing is important even in summer due to changeable coastal weather.

Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated (rounding up the bill or 5-10%). Dress modestly for churches and public institutions. Norwegians value personal space and quiet, so keep noise levels low in public.
Safety Warnings
Kabelvåg is very safe, but take care on slippery docks and hiking paths, especially during winter when ice and strong winds are common. There are no notable crime issues, but always lock bikes and cars.
Hidden Gems
Visit the small Galleri Espolin for contemporary art, explore the historic Ørsvågvær Sea House, or hike to the secluded overlook at Tjeldbergtind for panoramic views over Lofoten.
