At the end of May 2025, my family and I traveled to Norway for a holiday. The first of two weeks were spent in the Lofoten Archipelago. The following photos are some of the highlights from this first week.

Ramberg

For this leg of the trip, our AirBnB was located centrally in a town called Ramberg. It’s a beautiful little town on the coast with easy access to hikes, attractions, and adventures. I was fortunate enough to take photos here over the course of a few different days and changing weather patterns.

Å

Our first trip out of Ramberg was to Å. It’s at the southern tip of the Lofoten Archipelago. It’s home to the famous Museumskafé bakery, a hostel, and lots of fishing. The overcast and rainy weather

Hamnøy

On our way back from Å, we passed by Hamnøy. We didn’t spend more than 5 min on the side of the road, but it’s worth a mention.The panoramic photo with the reflection of the bay in the water and the clouds partially covering the mountains in the distance is one of my favourite all-time photos I’ve taken.

Røstlandet

Towards the end of our stay in Lofoten, a group of us took a ferry trip to the island of Røst. The main attraction was a birdwatching boat trip with the promise of seeing puffins. I did not have a telephoto lens, so I didn’t manage to get great wildlife shots, but the landscape was captivating enough for me.
