The town of Narvik has a lovely setting at the tip of the peninsula between the Rombaksfjord and Beisfjord, surrounded by impressive peaks like the ‘Kongsbakktind’ – also known as ‘the sleeping queen’ and towering up to 1575m above the town.
Relax onboard your coach as a panoramic drive introduces you to the sights of the town. As you admire the surrounding scenery, your tour guide will bring Narvik’s past to life. Despite being 140 miles inside the Arctic Circle, the port of Narvik is ice-free all year round, thanks to the North Atlantic Current. This played a central part in the town’s development as a port for the export of iron ore, mined in Kiruna in Sweden, with the Ofoen Railway opened in 1902. Narvik also saw combat in World War II, with fierce fighting destroying the main part of the town
Notes:
Sightseeing on this tour is conducted from the coach, however some photograph stops will be made. Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home.
