Reine has been a trading post since 1743, and it is an important centre for the fishing industry. Today Reine is arguably the most famous village in Lofoten. The stunning scenery of steep mountain peaks contrasted with the fishing village have made the rounds on the internet, and it’s hard to plan a trip to Norway without seeing the famous Reine shot.
