Cultural Walking Tour

OVERVIEW

Stroll through downtown Måløy, a flourishing fishing port that has developed into a remarkable cultural center. The city’s fishing heritage is beautifully and dramatically told through the colorful street art that adorns many of the most high-profile buildings. Most every mural features some combination of fish, fishermen and fishing boats – all oversized and boldly painted to capture your attention. While viewing the most emblematic murals, the guide will explain the significance of the figures, some of which may be symbolic. Not all of the artists are Norwegian, which adds an international flair to the paintings. A lovely walk through the town will also be conducted, filled with plenty of history and charm. As you wander its streets, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for Måløy’s unique blend of maritime tradition and artistic expression.
