With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Harstad, 35 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Trondenes Historical Centre, Grottebadet Waterpark and The Troll’s Church. Situated 40 miles away, Vagan is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Espolin Gallery, The Lofoten Museum and The Lofoten Aquarium.
