With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Vagan, 35 miles away, has to offer. Espolin Gallery, The Lofoten Museum and The Lofoten Aquarium alone make the drive out worthwhile. Located 60 miles away, Harstad is another popular option. If you swing by, don’t miss Trondenes Historical Centre, Grottebadet Waterpark and The Troll’s Church.
