Introducing Brønnøysund
Brønnøysund is flanked on one side by an archipelago of islets in a tropical-looking sea and on the other by rolling farm country. Its tourist office (75 01 80 00; www.visithelgeland.com; 9am-7pm Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm Sat, noon-6pm Sun mid-Jun–mid-Aug, 9am-4pm Mon-Fri rest-of-year), one block from the Hurtigruten quay, rents bicycles (per hour/day Nkr40/125). It also sells tickets for a spectacular daily minicruise (adult/child Nkr363/182) on the Hurtigruten. Leaving at 5pm, the coastal ferry passes Torghatten on its way south to Rørvik in Trøndelag – allowing an hour to explore the town and visit its splendid Norveg Centre for Coastal Culture and Industries before hopping a-board the northbound ferry and reaching Brønnøysund again at 1am.
