Nordkapp itself is a great place worth visiting, walking around and enjoying, the hall not in the slightest.
Now to the details - upon your arrival there's a guy in a booth (kind, smiling) informing you that you can park there for free and walk around the premises (toilets are also on the parking lot for free, thank god).
Then he added information that to enter the hall where they have everything for the visitors; shop, cinema, and restaurant, you have to pay 310 NOK per person just to gain the access to the building.
We double check that we understood correctly and yes, you need to pay 310 NOK per person just to get the permission to access the building itself.
Only after paying the 310 NOK per person you will get the chance to spent some more money there in a gift shop and restaurant in addition (yes, not possible without paying the 310 NOK first). So if you want a souvenir from Nordkapp, a postcard, a sticker or just to enjoy a coffee or a meal in the restaurant after so long travels, it will cost you the amount for the goods + 310 NOK per person.
Yes, for this price you will also get the chance to enjoy their cinema which is the single thing included in the price beside the entering of the building itself. Hm, wow.
To sum it up, that is simply insane and everyone who came at the same time with us skipped the opportunity to go in. I still wonder until now how is this good for their business or for the visitors satisfaction, happiness, recommendations?
Ticket for kids was 240 NOK so you can do the math what the cost for the whole family would be to only to get inside the building without even buying anything. Wonderful that it is valid for 24 hours but no.
This was one huge disappointment and the first time I have ever encountered so shady rules in Norway in so many years of living and travelling here.
It felt like a tourist trap, not welcoming at all - like they don't really want you there, you represent just a piggy bank for them, a source for draining money - pay for entrance and then pay for souvenirs, pay for food and drinks and leave some hundreds, ideally thousands crowns lighter.
I asked if I can only get a special post cancellation stamp on my postcard which I already had with me. The answer was yes, if I pay the 310 NOK first. With absolutely no effort and interest from the staff there (two young girls not really interested in anything unless us buying the tickets...).
This place deserves better. Luckily you can enjoy (unless they change that) all the nature and the views for free and that is the only thing I can recommend here.
And if you want a wonderful visitors experience and it's on your way, enjoy The Artic Circle Center where there is no fee for anything, they have wonderfully equipped souvenir shop, cinema part, delicious food in their bistro and ever helping and welcoming staff with anything you ask about.
Basically anywhere is much better than here. Such a shame.
