Tips

If you’d like to extend the adventure, consider adding a day in Oslo to explore the Viking Ship Museum and Oslofjord, or a weekend in Gothenburg, Sweden for a relaxed coastal vibe. To shorten the trip, you can combine the Lofoten day trip with a scenic drive back to Narvik and skip the Swedish archipelago ferry, saving both time and travel costs while still enjoying the highlights of each capital city.
