Vardø is Norway's easternmost town, located on an island in the Barents Sea in Troms og Finnmark county. This historic fishing community has played a significant role in Norwegian maritime history and served as an important strategic point during World War II.

The town is known for the Vardøhus Fortress, which dates back to the 1300s and is the world's northernmost fortress. Vardø preserves a complex cultural heritage, particularly related to the 17th-century witch trials, commemorated by the striking Steilneset Memorial designed by artist Louise Bourgeois and architect Peter Zumthor. The town maintains its fishing industry traditions while embracing contemporary art and cultural projects that reflect on its unique history and Arctic location.
