Narvik is in many ways the perfect destination for a stop on your Arctic journey.

Stunning nature and history

First of all, the city of Narvik and its area attractions justify a stopover. The region is characterised by dramatic wilderness, dramatic history, impressive mountain peaks, and beautiful fjords. 

Best transport hub

Narvik is a unique link and gateway hub for destinations such as the Lofoten Islands, Vesterålen, Tromsø, and Kiruna in northern Sweden. It is the only city in northern Norway with a railway connection.

From here, you are connected to the international network through Sweden and to Southern Scandinavia and Europe. Due to the unique nature of the Arctic, more and more visitors choose to take the stunning train ride between Kiruna and Narvik.

Narvik is in the middle of the national and regional road network. The E6 road runs from north to south, and the E10 road runs east to west, which is why many find optimal bus connections to destinations such as Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands from here.

Narvik Port is one of the most recognised in Norway. The renowned ferry company Hurtigruten offers cruises that include stops in Narvik. It is primarily through the Northern Lights season.

The nearby Harstad / Narvik Evenes airport offers several daily departures and arrivals, making Narvik easy to reach by plane.
