Sorrounded by sea and high mountains, Lofoten Island is a paradise to enjoy. Perfect place for trekking, hiking or just chilling. I'd recommend to go there in june, when you can enjoy 24 hours of sun and quite good weather. You can rent bikes and go through all the island or do it with a car, we took this last... More

When you Are planning to visit Lofoten in Norway, please make Reine the place you stay the longest. And go there in June / July, when you can see the sun shining all night. In Reine the sun hides behind the mountains and creates a magic light ! And to see the midnight sun drive to Ramberg late, late in... More

The Lofoten Islands are a 20 minute- flying- by- the- seat- of- your- pants journey from Boda, off the West coast of Norway, having flown on from Oslo; the whole journey was completed in one day with good flight connections.This was in February with about 9 hours daylight! As it was dark when we drove to our hotel the evening... More

Just go there. 200% satisfaction guaranteed. Most lovely place for romantic getaway! Rent a car and drive, walk, drive and walk. Don't hurry enjoy landscapes, stop everywhere sleep night or two in traditional house on the water. Midnight sun in summer makes you full of energy, high spirit and double your holiday time. Absolutely fantastic place and not overcrowded
