Introducing Florø
Florø, Norway’s westernmost town, is a pleasant if unexciting little place whose coat of arms features, appropriately, three herrings rampant.

Nowadays, wealth comes from the black gold of the oil industry. The large Fjord Base, just northeast of town, employs around 400 workers and serves the giant Snorreankeret offshore oil field. Florø is also enriched by fish farming, shipbuilding – and the return of the herring, the town’s original raison d’être.
For a scenic overview, it’s an easy 10-minute climb up the Storåsen hill from the Florø Ungdomsskule on Havrenesveien.
