Narvik Travel Forum

Hi!
Does anyone know if it is possible to be a vegetarian traveller in Narvik and Lofoten? I mean, of course it is possible to live on salads but my veggie husband is quite a big lad who'd like a cooked meal a day whilst I would pig out on fish :-)
Secondly, I have read that it takes 3 hrs to Svolvær by ferry. Is that an interesting place? How far from Borge viking centre by the way? Anything particular for children in the Narvik and inner Lofoten region? What about a trip to Trollfjord? Are they round trips or one way somewhere and if so, how long would a roundtrip be and where do the ships leave from?

svolvaer and borge are particularly boring as destinations.. the real lofoten can be found anywhere except the places u mention

as for vegetarianism... no help i'm afriad... but if u stay in a rorbue i'm sure u can cook ur own meals.. like i did

Yes Borge wouldn't be a base, my husband just want to see the viking centre. As for Svolvær, that's what I feared. Where would you recommend that I can get to by the bus network?

Thanks everyone!!! Great tips. The problem is that I don't drive and have to rely on public transport. The link to the Lofoten bus service doesn't seem to work so I have no idea what to expect in terms of frequency and which villages are covered.
