By air. The nearest airport is Harstad/Narvik Airport (EVE) at Evenes, about 75 km north of town and shared with Harstad. SAS, Norwegian, and Widerøe fly several times a day from Oslo, with the flight taking around two hours. Airport coaches meet the main flights and run direct to Narvik bus terminal.
By rail. Narvik is the northern terminus of the Ofotbanen, a 43-kilometre branch line completed in 1902 to carry Swedish iron ore down to the ice-free Atlantic. The railway connects Narvik with Kiruna and the rest of the Swedish network — including overnight services south to Stockholm — and the ride through the Ofoten mountains is itself one of the great rail journeys of Europe. Note that Narvik is not connected to the Norwegian state railway.
By road. The main road link is the E6, the spine of mainland Norway, which reaches Narvik after about a 19-hour drive (1,350 km) from Oslo. The E10 runs west across the Hålogaland Bridge towards the Lofoten Islands and east into Sweden. Long-distance Nor-way bus coaches connect Narvik with Bodø, Tromsø, and the northern fjords.
By sea. The Hurtigruten coastal steamer does not stop in Narvik itself, but the Bodø–Lofoten ferries combined with road or local boat connections make it possible to arrive by water from the south.
