Getting Around Northern Norway: There is no comprehensive public transportation in the regionother than coastal steamers. There is also little traffic. And, in recent years, many new bridges and tunnels have been constructed throughout northern Norway making self-drive touring much faster and surer. Visitors travel by air to/from the region, and have a rental car while there. Note that, while cars may be equipped for arctic conditions, the driver and passengers may not be. Be sure to know road and weather conditions before driving distances in the arctic.Midnight Sun. Photo © Home at First.

Getting to/from Northern Norway: Rental Car, Rail from Sweden to Narvik, Inter-Scandinavian Flights to/from Tromsψ Airport, Hurtigrute Coastal Steamship Services to/from Bergen and other Norwegian North Sea ports.
