Getting there & away
From Kirkenes airport (78 97 35 20), there are direct flights to Oslo and Tromsø. Savvy locals save money by flying in/out of Ivalo, Finland, in summer, when a daily bus runs the 250km between Kirkenes and Ivalo’s airport.
Buses run to Karasjok (Nkr504, 5¼ hours), Hammerfest (Nkr831, 10 to 12 hours), Alta (Nkr876, 15 hours) and many points in between three or four times weekly. From late June to mid-August, Lapin Linjat (www.eskelisen-lapinlinjat.com) runs once daily to Ivalo town and airport (Nkr320, 4½ hours).
Kirkenes is the terminus of the Hurtigruten coastal ferry, which heads southwards again at 12.45pm daily. A bus meets the boat and runs into town (Nkr25) and on to the airport (Nkr70).
