Narvik is a fantastic gem located in Norway, just 45km from the Swedish border. Home to what was once one of the harshest and coldest railway constructions in the world, a ride on the Ofoten Railway will take you past rugged mountains, deep fjords, and mountain plateaus. There's a museum dedicated to the railway and local history of the area, close to the centre, or visit the War Museum for an interactive exhibition documenting the events that took place between 1940 and 1945. This museum also exhibits information on worldwide conflicts and human rights.
Family fun activities include dog sledding, snowmobile rides, and if there is time, a visit to the world's most northernmost wildlife park - Polar Park. Here you will find a variety of arctic animals including reindeer, wolves, and the brown bear.
You wouldn't be making the most of a trip to Narvik without a ride on the cable car, which will elevate you 656 metres above sea level, giving you a panoramic view of the stunning Ofot fjord.
