With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Tromso, 45 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Tromso Lapland, Tromso Cathedral and Polar Museum. Situated 55 miles away, Narvik is another popular option. If you visit, be sure to check out Narvikfjellet, Red Cross War Memorial Museum and Fagernesfjellet.
