Center for Herring Fishing
Florø was granted city status in 1860 and served as a center for herring fishing both in the 19th century and in the 1950s. The former municipality of Flora has been named the most pleasant town municipality in the country on several occasions. The Coastal Museum in Florø offers insights into the area's history.

The town is surrounded by a number of islands that are part of the coastal landscape. Here, you can visit the impressive Kinnaklova, which served as a backdrop in the major film "Dune," and explore the beautiful and lush island of Svanøy, which has historically been both a noble seat and a bishop's estate.
