With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Harstad, 45 miles away, has to offer. Trondenes Historical Centre ought to be at the top of your list here. Grottebadet Waterpark and The Troll’s Church are also not to be missed. The locals will also likely point you toward Tromso, 45 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Tromso Lapland. (But we’re also huge fans of Tromso Cathedral and Polar Museum.)
