Plan a first Lofoten trip around three decisions: your arrival gateway, transport and accommodation base. This original GoVista guide compares the choices and gives an adaptable three-full-day planning pattern.

Real licensed archive footage from different seasons; the geographic diagram is simplified and not to scale. Scenic footage does not show today's conditions or guarantee access. Check current services for your own dates. Base and itinerary suggestions are GoVista editorial advice.
