Nordkapp (North Cape) - 71°10′21″N 25°47′04″E
Well this is a long way north...
The most northern point in Europe!
...well, not quite. That would be an island well north of here.
The most northern point of mainland Europe?
Nope, as it is on an island it cannot be! That honour goes to Kinnarodden (Cape Nordkinn) a little further to the east.

The most northern point of Europe accessible by road (read tourist bus)?
YES!!
So we intrepidly rode the bus to the over touristy Nordkapp - the northernmost point of Europe accessible by road! We were fortunate to arrive at a time when the weather was clear and the tourist buses few...
