Hammerfest is a port town (Norway's and the world's northernmost) with population around 7000. The North Atlantic Gulf Stream provides the port town with a ice-free waters the whole year-round.

As municipality, Hammerfest encompasses parts of three large-sized Norwegian islands (Kvaloya, Soroya, Seiland) plus smaller islands (including Kamoya). The municipality has no road connection with mainland Norway, except Kvaloya island via Kvalsund Bridge (length 741 m / 2430 ft). The suspension bridge is located west of Kvalsund town and approx 25 km (16 mi) south of Hammerfest.

Like most Norwegian towns, fishing is the most important industry. Tourism not too far behind as the short distance to North Cape (Nordkapp) makes it an attractive travel destination.

Like Tromso, Hammerfest was a major location for starting or ending Arctic expeditions in the 19th century.

In 1890, the town was among Europe's first to boast electric street lighting.

The "Polar Bear Club" provides intriguing insights into Arctic traditions and history.
