Where is Narvik?

A view over Narvik

The small port town of Narvik is situated on the shores of Narvik Fjord, 220km inside the arctic circle of Norway. I made it to this travel destination during the summer of 1989. Whilst Scandinavia was rather a rushed visit due to the expense of the region for backpackers, the landscapes were simply beautiful.

Narvik will offer the visitor the opportunity to step into the arctic circle, witness the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights and if visiting during the peak of summer, experience sightseeing in the light of the midnight sun. A strange experience! Narvik is a popular winter destination offering terrific alpine skiing and snowboarding.

One Great Reason to Visit Narvik

One great reason to visit this travel destination especially during the peak of summer is to experience the long shadows of the night sky that is still like dusk, accompanied by the Aurora Borealis.
