Land
Bus
Express buses run northwards to Tromsø (Nkr360, 4¼ hours, three daily) and also between Narvik and Bodø (Nkr497, 6½ hours, two daily) via Fauske (Nkr407, 4¾ hours). For Lofoten there are two buses daily between Narvik and Leknes (Nkr505, eight hours) via Sortland (Nkr294, four hours) and Svolvær (Nkr433, 6½ hours).
Train
Heading for Sweden, there are at least two daily services between Narvik and Riksgränsen (one hour), on the border, and Kiruna (three hours). Trains continue to Lulea (7¼ hours) via Boden, from where you can pick up connections to Stockholm.
The route takes you up the spectacular Ofotbanen Railway and, in Sweden, past Abisko National Park, which offers excellent hiking and lovely Arctic scenery.
Boat
An express passenger boat runs to Svolvær on Lofoten (Nkr326, 3½ hours, daily except Saturday) from the Dampskipskaia dock on Havnegata, 1km south of the centre along Kongens gate.
Air
Nearly all flights leave from Harstad/Narvik Evenes airport, which is 1¼ hours away. Narvik’s tiny Framneslia airport, about 3km west of the centre, serves only Bodø, Tromsø and Andenes.
