Sortland is Vesterålen’s centre for trade and services. The town on Sortlandssundet serves an area much larger than its own municipality, with shops, schools and connections throughout the islands.
Beyond the town are farming communities along Eidsfjorden and settlements on Hinnøya. Sigerfjord and Godfjord give Sortland a rural fjord character easily overlooked beside its regional urban role.
