Sights in Narvik

  1. A

    Ofoten Museum

    The Ofoten Museum tells of Narvik’s farming, fishing, railway-building and ore trans-shipment heritage. There’s a rolling film about the Ofotbanen Railway and children will enjoy pressing the button that activates the model train. Linger too over the display case of Sami costumes and artefacts and the collection of historic photos, contrasted with modern shots taken from the same angles. To reach the museum, take the minor road beside the restored building that served as Narvik’s post office from 1888 to 1898.

    Narvik’s Red Cross War Museum illustrates the military campaigns fought hereabouts in the early years of WWII. The presentation may not be flash but it will still stun you.
