Lofoten

A stunning archipelago above the Arctic Circle, known for its dramatic peaks, fishing villages, Northern Lights, and abundant sea life in Norway.

Tips from the community

Waaay up on the northwestern coast of Norway lies Lofoten: An archipelago of dramatically sloping mountains, shimmering dark blue waters, and the cutest little red cabins. These seaside wooden huts are traditional to the area, and there are plenty that you can stay in during a visit. They’re cozy as can be, and the all-red exterior makes for an excellent contrast with the landscape.

Lofoten is an island making up part of Norway's archipelago. Along with the midnight sun and astonishing scenery, Lofoten is famous for rows of traditional red-painted homes called "Rorbuer". Rent one of these adorable cabins for your next cherry-colored getaway.

From the totally obtainable (White Sands National Park) to the obscure (Lofoten), here's my big, bad, do-before-I-die bucket list.
