Sogn Og Fjordane Coastal Museum
The two main buildings of the Kystmuseet are chock-full of fishing exhibits and there’s a model 1900 fishing family’s home too. Also within the complex are several old warehouse buildings, moved from Florø and Måløy, and an old herring salt house. On a more contemporary theme, the Snorreankeret oil platform display illustrates the history, exploration and exploitation of the North Sea oil and gas fields.

Hjørnevikhagen
Hjørnevikhagen This recent addition to Florø’s very limited dining options has style. Outside on the split-level terracing, furniture is smart, angular, of glass and metal, while the interior has good views of the marina. Dishes are well priced, tasty and attractively presented and it’s also the most enticing spot in town for a quiet drink. It’s just behind the tourist office.

Kinn
Kinn has a beautifully restored 12th-century church, believed to have been built by British Celts sheltering from religious persecution. On the second or third weekend in June, it's the site of the Kinnespelet pageant, which celebrates the history of the church on the island. Climbers and hikers will savour the dramatic landscapes, particularly the Kinnaklova cleft.

Kick Off
Kick Off is, as you’d expect, a sports bar that shows all major football matches. It’s also where the young folk of Florø head, drawn by its pool table, darts and massive music collection (make a request and test them out). It serves pizzas and snacks, there’s free wi-fi and every Friday and Saturday are disco nights.

Bistro to Kokker
This gloomy place where ageing bachelors stare into their cocoa does decent enough fare and portions are large. There’s squid, salmon, monkfish and other seafood on the menu or, for more pedestrian palates, it has fish and chips (Nkr50 to Nkr60), burgers (Nkr45 to Nkr105), good salads (Nkr60 to Nkr84) and pizzas (Nkr115) too.

Havhesten
If the fjord’s too chilly, visit Havhesten. Plunge into one of its three indoor heated pools and savour the fantastic view of the fjord as you bob up, work up a sweat in the gym, then get all aglow in the sauna. Everything, even the view, is included in your admission.
