Nordpol Kro

Since 1864 — Norway's easternmost inn

About Nordpol Kro

Nordpol Kro in Vardø is considered North Norway's oldest tavern, with roots reaching back to the 1800s. The main building is constructed from pine timber from Arkhangelsk, and this is where Fridtjof Nansen stayed when he returned from his North Pole expedition in 1896. Today the inn is filled with photographs, newspaper clippings and local history from Vardø, and serves pizza and simple dishes with good coffee and beer on tap. The venue has been a beloved stage for live music and concerts since 1978.
