Lofoten is the peninsula located at the northern end of Norway in the Arctic Circle. It falls in the Nordland county. It’s known for its mountains and peaks, its fishing villages, and overall magical scenery.
Here are four amazing accommodations, all along the way from one another, to stay at during your visit to Lofoten. Starting from the north and heading south:

Located in the centre of Narvik, within walking distance to the city’s most central facilities and a short distance to the bus and train station, the harbour, and the Narvik mountain with activities suitable for the whole family.
In the 60’s and 70’s it was called “Wivel hotel” with a restaurant and pub, and even a dance floor in the basement. It was one of the city’s most popular meeting places for locals and sailors visiting Narvik.
