Travel through the forests of Norway and feel the wind of freedom

Travel check-in guide: The beautiful Lofoten Islands in Norway The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago in the Norwegian Sea in northern Norway. Area is 1425 square kilometers. It extends about 111 kilometers from north to south, and is 1.6-80 kilometers away from the mainland, separated by West Bay. Population 27,000. The water in the strait between the islands is fast. Affected by the warm North Atlantic Current, the climate is relatively mild. The island is full of swamps and hills, with the highest peak at 1,161 meters. The surrounding waters are rich in cod and herring, which are mostly made into dried and smoked fish after being caught. The Lofoten Islands in a broad sense include the West Oron Islands. , ✈️Flying to the Lofoten Islands from outside Norway usually requires a transit in Oslo. Currently, flying directly from Oslo to Evenes is the fastest way to reach the Lofoten Islands, and the air ticket price is also very favorable. There is an airport bus to the islands after arrival. There are airports in the capital Svolvær and some small towns, but regular flights to the island are mainly concentrated in surrounding cities, such as Bodø, Tromso, Trondheim, etc. If you are going to the Lofoten Islands later in your trip to Norway, it is recommended that you take a flight from these places. 🚄There are no trains on the Lofoten Islands, so if you want to travel by train, the two closest train stations are Narvik Train Station, which has a cross-border Metro line, and Bodø Station, which operates the Norwegian National Railways The northernmost route. If you are traveling in Norway, you can take a train from Oslo or Trondheim to Bodø, and then transfer to the island of Darrow; if your journey is a Nordic multi-country tour, you can also take a train from Stockholm or Kiruna in Sweden to Narvik The polar train allows you to enjoy the wilderness landscape of the Arctic Circle along the way. 🛳As an archipelago, Lofoten’s transportation relies heavily on ferries or cruise ships, and small islands are usually connected by small cruise ships. From Bodø, there are ferries and express boats to the port of Reine on Roshima ( It usually takes about 3.5 hours)... Starting from this year, the Lofoten Islands will add electric ferries, making it more convenient to get here. Another form of sea travel is more adventurous. You can choose to take a Hurtigruten cruise to get here from the southern fjords, or continue north to Tromso and other Arctic Circle cities. This way can make the journey more diverse and cost-effective. It's moderate and you can enjoy the scenery of Norway's west coast. 🚖Road trip is a good way to explore the Lofoten Islands. If you choose public transportation, you can start from Narvik and Bodø to popular travel destinations such as Swalwell, Henningsville, Å Village on the Lofoten Islands... …Of course you have freer choices—— Self-driving is the freest way to travel around the island. You can choose to drive all the way up from the south, or start a small-scale self-driving journey from surrounding cities. The western coast of Norway has magnificent natural scenery, and many roads have been rated as national Level landscape highway, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery before arriving.
