We recommend that you choose to arrive directly at Svolvær Airport (SVJ), the capital of the Lofoten Islands.
If you arrive at Harstad-Narvik/Evenes Airport (EVE), the gateway to the Lofoten Islands:
Transfer by bus from the airport to Svolvær city centre (not included / Supplement: approximately €35 per person, payable locally). Duration: approximately 3 hours.
Typical timetable: departure from Evenes airport at 11:00 or 17:05 / arrival in Svolvær city centre at 13:50 or 20:10.
This transfer time is an additional opportunity to discover the beauty of the landscapes!
Upon arrival in Svolvær, private transfer to your accommodation from the airport or from the city centre (if you land at Evenes Airport).
The Lofoten Islands, separated from the mainland by the Vestfjord, seem to rise from the ocean. They form a compact mass commonly called "the Wall" where beaches with emerald and turquoise waters and white sand beaches follow one another.
The annual cod fishery (the future salt cod) is typical of the area; it once involved up to 6,000 boats and 30,000 itinerant fishermen who, from January to March, occupied simple cabins by the sea – the rorbuers. A living testament to this heritage, each village still has its wooden drying rack for the cod.
