North Cape features a tourist center that is open year-round, with exhibits examining the region’s ecology and North Cape as a traveler destination.
Watch a short film about the cape’s four seasons and ecosystem at the center’s cinema. In the summer months you may also see majestic reindeer grazing in the mountain plateau. Notice the large globe monument, constructed in late 20th century, near the cliff lookout. The globe has since become a symbol for the cape.

See the breathtaking northern lights in the winter and the sun rising at midnight in the summer. North Cape is famous for dramatic contrasts in light, with perpetual sunlight through most of the summer and darkness in the winter. During the northern lights, the sky appears to explode in a dazzling symphony of colors and patterns.
Stand on the cliff’s plateau and admire the seemingly endless Arctic Ocean. The plateau rises about 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and provides astonishing views of the ocean and surrounding natural areas. Notice the treeless plains of the winding coast and snow-covered mountains in the winter.
