Narvik Station

The station at Narvik represents the northern terminus for one of Europe's most celebrated night trains. The Norrlandståget leaves Stockholm around six every afternoon, reaches Lappmarken by early the following morning, and then traverses the mountains that delimit the modern frontier between Sweden and Norway to reach the Ofotfjord, on the south shore of which lies the port of Narvik, where it arrives early afternoon. It is a journey which has been praised as "surely one of the most engaging adventures by train in all Europe".[1]

Onward journey is by bus only. The Narvik bus station is located 1.5 km (1 mile) further south. Northbound buses stop at the E6 road a few hundred metres from the railway station.[2]
