The New York Times has NOW published its list of 52 places you simply MUST visit.
Among exotic travel destinations, Lofoten is presented here, and readers are encouraged to tell the NYT’s Facebook pages what they should see and where. The trend is that tourists want experiences, and preferably authentic experiences for the place and area they visit.
Lofoten came in 39th place in the New York Times list.

Adventure and art-inspiring landscapes in the Arctic.
This archipelago, a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Oslo and more than 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is an idyllic haven for outdoor adventurers and artists. The craggy mountains that drop dramatically into cobalt waters make it a favorite with hikers, cyclists, kayakers and a growing number of surfers. The same striking landscape is popular with artists who turned cod factories into galleries for contemporary art, ceramics and photography.
