Lofoten Islands, Norway: Midnight Sun, Arctic Fjords, and Northern Lights

Shattering the Arctic Ocean above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands feature razor-sharp granite peaks plunging straight down into fjord waters and Caribbean-like white sand beaches.

Iconic Lofoten Experiences

  1. Stay in a Traditional Rorbu: Rent a restored red wooden fisherman's cabin built on stilts directly over the water in Reine or Hamnøy.
  2. Hike Reinebringen: Climb the 1,560 stone Sherpa steps for the most spectacular fjord panorama in Scandinavia.
  3. Chasing Aurora Borealis: From September to April, Lofoten's clear northern skies provide optimal viewing for dancing green Northern Lights.

This guide was incredibly helpful for our Amalfi Coast trip! We followed the Ravello stone steps recommendation and the views were unbelievable.

Great tips on the Eurail seat reservations. I almost made the mistake of boarding the Frecciarossa without reserving a seat!
