Frequently Asked Questions

The port facilities are spread across three sectors, including the ore terminal and the deep-water quay at Fagernes. Cruise ships generally use the central sector, from which the main attractions are walkable.
Because of a railway. The Ofoten Line, completed in 1902 to carry Swedish iron ore to an ice-free port, created the town on its fjord. Ore wagons still come down from the mountains to the quays.
The battles of Narvik in spring 1940, when Allied and German forces fought for control of the strategic port, on land and on the waters of the fjord. The display is modern and restrained, giving voice to soldiers and civilians alike. Allow an hour and a half to two hours.
By cable car, with a base station reachable on foot from the lower streets of town. The cabins rise to 656 metres, where the panorama unfolds the town, the arms of the fjord and ridges to the horizon. A restaurant lets you linger over the view.
The War Museum and the cable car, both walkable from the quays, with an hour for the shopping streets and the waterfront. The Arctic train to the Swedish border takes the whole day.
The tourist train that climbs the Ofoten Line toward the Swedish border, rising above the fjord through a run of tunnels and bridges. It follows the same track as the ore trains and the daily service to Stockholm, still in use more than a century after it was built.
The old navvies' path, running alongside the Ofoten line and walkable in summer. It is the choice for active passengers who would rather use their legs than a train seat.
In winter, yes: the polar night here gives one of the most active skies in the country, and the top of the cable car is the best vantage point in clear weather. In summer the midnight sun rules and there is nothing to see on that front.
It is nothing like a fishing village in its Sunday best. Its industrial calling gives it a direct, unvarnished character, softened by a backdrop of peaks falling into the Ofotfjord. What it has is rarer: an identity forged by work and hardship.
The Norwegian krone (NOK), cards everywhere, and Norwegian as the official language. Sweden's proximity shows in the rail traffic but not in everyday speech. English is spoken fluently.
