Lofoten islands

Ultimate guide (March 2024)
Lofotens is a group of islands located beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway. It is a place of marvelous beauty with excellent hiking and even with some beaches - with white sand looking like Maldives. You can walk forever in a romantic mood. There is no Old Town, nor any notable attractions - except for the northern nature. Probably, you may be interested in bridges between the islands, sunny polar night in the summer and the northern lights. So the place is definitely worth a visit. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
This island ranks #16 of the "Best islands in Europe"

Hotels [edit]

The average cost of a room in the hotels of Lofotens is US$150 per night. Expensive, since it's a popular destination is a rich country... So it's quite clear why most of the tourists prefer to travel by car and to sleep in tents.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Oslo international airport (OSL), next fly to Narvik Airport (EVE). It is best to rent a car to explore Lofoten islands. You can also travel around the islands by public transport, though it won't be so comfortable.

When to go [edit]

The best time to relax in Lofotens is the summer half of the year, - if you don't want to die from the cold. As for a beach holiday, August is the only suitable time.
