2025 Narvik Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#tripblazers #awesomepic #norway I visited the Arctic Circle in winter time when Narvik has only 2 hours of daylight bookended by two hours of what the locals call ‘blue light’. We went to visit the dock here just a blue light time was ended and saw the most amazing sunset. The colours against the water and the snow are magnificent. Whilst you’re there, see if you can spot a red telephone box and the bronze walrus!

#2023travelwish Preparing to get comfy in our seats on the Arctic train from Narvik to Abisko 🚆 We were about to traverse 2 countries through a 74-kilometre ride along historical rails, with first class views to the beautiful and changing arctic landscape from Norwegian fjords to high Swedish mountains 🏔 My travel wish for 2023 would be to continue exploring foreign lands & revisit familiar boundaries to gain different invaluable insights!

#celebratewithtrip A nice train station in Narvik here in Norway. Toilet only accepted credit cards, not coins. Located central in the city. Nice view from the train station. Very small, very simple. #narvik #norway

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #aprilblooms #cityplaybook Nestled between fjords and peaks above the Arctic Circle, Narvik is one of Norway’s most underrated gems. I wasn’t prepared for the surreal combination of rugged alpine terrain and icy blue waters, all kissed by the Arctic light. Whether you’re here for the northern lights, skiing, or the World War II history, Narvik leaves a powerful impression. My journey started with the Narvikfjellet Cable Car—an absolute must. The ride up the mountain offers breathtaking views of the Ofotfjord, and from the summit, I felt like I was standing on top of the world. It’s an all-season experience—skiers in winter, hikers and photographers in summer. Narvik’s history is equally compelling. The Narvik War Museum gave me a sobering but fascinating glimpse into Norway’s WWII involvement, especially the fierce battles that took place here. The stories of resistance and resilience linger long after you leave. For outdoor lovers, Narvik is a dream. I ventured to Rombaksbotn, a fjord-side trail accessible by foot or boat. The dramatic cliffs and cascading waterfalls were pure Norwegian drama at its best. Best Time to Visit: Winter (December to March): For skiing and aurora borealis. Summer (June to August): For hiking, kayaking, and the midnight sun. Helpful Tips: Dress in layers—the Arctic weather can change quickly. Buy the Narvik Pass for discounts on local attractions and transport. Watch for eagles soaring above the fjords—it’s a common and majestic sight.

"About Chasing Light" The first journey of 2025, to the ice and snow land of Norway. From Oslo, take an inland flight and then transfer to a bus to the small town of Narvik. Narvik is a fjord town with relatively few people heading to Chasing Light . There aren’t many attractions and restaurants. But precisely because of this, There is a particularly quiet and comfortable feeling 🫶 #February Good Places 2025 Five things to do in a small town: 1️⃣ Chase the Aurora ▪︎ We did not specifically sign up for the aurora tour, just in the city is more secluded, just saw the aurora 🥳 First time to see the aurora, really excited! 2️⃣ Visit the canyon ▪︎ We signed up for a canyon Day tour (chartered car), went to see the nearby canyon big push! 3️⃣ Take the cable car ▪︎ Originally very confused to go, because the road from the city to take the cable car takes half an hour, but along the road and up the scenery is really beautiful! 4️⃣ Aurora Train I recommend you to plan when you go, but I did not sit ... because the Aurora train opening hours are 1/2 days a week, we paid too late to pay attention, as a result of the time can not fit, if you are interested in sitting, it is recommended to check online early. 5️⃣Walk well In this town, I think the thing to do is to walk carefully and live slowly, because in cold places... it is very easy to freeze and snow... we went when the weather was good, and the locals said the long-lost sun🌞 But one night it snowed, the next morning the ground accumulated thin snow, later turned into ice, walking will be strong slippery, so we have to be prepared to prevent slipping or slow walking! Playing Tips: • Oslo way to Narvik there are trains and planes, we were quick, take a plane to EVE airport and then change the bus time about an hour, you will see the bus schedule after landing (and google map time is almost the same). • We went to coincide with Saturday and Sunday, less people on Sunday, Sunday the mall is not open, but rest assured, the restaurant is there (there is a Thai snack shop super delicious! • If you want to buy a postcard, you can find it in the bookstore in the mall! #snowscape #aurora #narvik

At the end of the world, fjords embrace snow-capped mountains, the sunset kisses the afterglow, the wind stirs up ripples on the sea, and the pink morning glow weaves dreams. How far is the end of the world? . ✈️Transportation & Route: Fly from China to Bergen and then transfer to Tromsø. The self-driving route is: Tromsø-Narvik-Reine-Tromsø (P17). Tromsø (P2-5) and Reine (P13-14) are both well-known travel destinations in Norway. On the way to Reine, you can pass by Svolvær and Henningsvær (the football field at the end of the world). However, the small port town of Narvik is the most amazing stop on this trip. It is surrounded by the sea, fjords, and snow-capped mountains, and has all the features you can imagine in the Arctic Circle. Because we had a skiing itinerary, we booked the Basecamp Narvik hotel at the Narvikfjellet ski resort. P6-12 were mainly shot in and around the hotel. But even if you don't stay, you can continue to drive to the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the entire town and the fjord🏔️ . 🕰️Time: The itinerary is concentrated in mid-February. The daytime is short, and the sunrise and sunset times will be extended. During this period, the sky often appears dreamy pink, and you can also try to shoot the aurora at night💫 . 🌡️Temperature: Although northern Norway is located in the Arctic Circle, it is affected by warm currents. The perceived temperature is actually similar to that of Beijing in winter, but you need to pay attention to wind protection! . 💰Consumption: The currency is the Norwegian krone, but you can basically use a credit card. It is recommended to prepare a chip card first. . 🌍Visa: You need to apply for a Schengen visa in advance. The slots are relatively easy to make an appointment, but it is still recommended to make an appointment as early as possible. For specific requirements, please refer to the VFS official website. ·

I was fortunate to see the magical geography of the fjords on my trip to Norway. During the Ice Age, up until 12,000 years ago, the entire Norwegian region was under ice, but today there are hardly any glaciers left. A fjord (English: fjord) is a landscape feature left behind after glaciers carved through valleys and melted. This viewpoint offers the most spectacular view of the fjords, and even Porsche has filmed there.

Narvik, a seaport town in northern Norway, the northernmost part of the world It is a railway terminus connecting Sweden Most people appreciate the aurora and stop at Abisko This section of the cross-border route extending further north has been ignored The scenery changes many times along the way Walking and walking printed in the blindfold is the berth Suitable for each household to have their own small boat From the endless white ice fields right down to the typical fjord scenery You can't help but admire the fact that the day colors of the Arctic Circle are really too gentle #OverseasTravel #WeekendTravel

Narvik Museum, Norway A small but beautiful museum that introduces the origin of Narvik, a new city port built for the export of iron ore! It is an important place in Northern Europe's strategy! Tickets are 80 yuan, with free coffee, tea and snacks! The view at the entrance is like the harbor, which is like the Keelung Port in Taiwan... It is a good place for a short stay of 1 hour.. #LocalTours#Good Places for Families #

Narvik Norway

Narvik, a port city in northern Norway, is a 3-hour drive from the Aurora city of Tromso, and sometimes you can see the aurora. Because of the North Atlantic warm current, it is called the non-freezing port. Driving from the highway over the snow-capped mountains and crossing the bridge, an elegant harbour city appeared in front of you. Check in the highest hotel scandic here, or go to the Ttta Bar Sky Bar on the 16th floor of the top floor for dinner. The window position of the restaurant is a great place to enjoy the night view. The Norwegian diet is quite simple. There are not many choices for this meal, only burgers, sandwiches, chicken wings, and grilled ribs. At the bar, I ordered wine and staple food. The beauty bartender explained how busy the people were while we were busy, but let us wait patiently. It is true that the Norwegian food service staff is far from our high efficiency. The chicken wings that came up are also good. The amount of grilled pork ribs and the amount of food in Germany and Austria are much less. All of them are obviously only the dishes, but the price is more expensive than our dinner. Its more cost-effective to have a glass of wine to enjoy the scenery.

Scandic Scandic, a mid-range brand under the Hilton Group, is worth a stay in Narvik, Norway. Narvik is the northernmost non-freezing port in the world and the northernmost port city in the world. Located in the heart of the city, this Scandic is facing the port and has 16 floors and is the highest hotel in the area. The room is very comfortable, it is highly recommended that you live here, 15F1504 room, 180 degrees because it is a corner room L-shaped glass window ring snow mountain landscape, as long as you turn off the lights without leaving home, you can already see the panoramic view of Narvik. The sky meal on the 16th floor is very happy to have a drink at night. The price is about 800 RMB for one breakfast, and there are 8 hot dishes for breakfast. The cold-smoked smoked salmon is suitable for all kinds of cheese. Although it is not very suitable for our appetite, the price is really high.

Sweden's aurora and snow, as well as the Christmas-filled shop, this is a wonderful Christmas in Northern Europe.
