Knarvik Senter

Knarvik is the largest town in the region of Nordhordland, Norway and the administrative centre in the municipality of Lindås. It has 4,265 inhabitants as of 2005 [1].

The town is based around Knarvik Senter, the largest shopping centre in the region of Nordhordland. Separating Knarvik in two is the E39 making for the quite disorganised structure of the town. Located in Knarvik is also Knarvik vidaregåande skule, a secondary school counting almost 1,000 students.

Today Knarvik is connected with Bergen via the Nordhordland Bridge (finished 1994). The car ferry connection between Knarvik and Bergen (Knarvik - Steinestø), that shipped cars and people up until the completion of the bridge, was at one time carrying more vehicles than any other car ferry connection in Norway.
