Indigo Car and Van Hire is pleased to offer you Car Hire Harstad/ Narvik Airport. The airport of Narvik and Harstad is located in North Norway and acts as a gateway to the greater North Norway region, with its stunning scenery of snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear Fjords, transport is essential, and what better way to explore with the freedom of a self-drive car hire. The airport itself is shared with the RNAF – Royal Norwegian Air Force. We have all heard the term more recently over tourism, and this seems to be one of the destinations amongst others that people are turning to.
The airport handled near enough 900,00 passengers last year, and is severed well domestically, with daily flights from Norwegian Airlines and SAS Airlines from the major cities in Norway. The more popular European airlines fly internationally with several arrivals on a weekly basis, as with all international routes, they flex up and down throughout the year depending on the demand.
Located just inside the Artic Circle, visiting in summer and winter is like night and day, in summer there is little night, in fact the sun never fully sets, and similarly in winter months, the sun never appears, although from time to time get a brief peak of it over the horizon, no doubt special for those not having this experiences this before, perhaps tiresome for those experiencing this year in year out, I suppose we all have our little quirks in terms of the geographical location we are dealt with and evolve from it.
Narvik has many strings to it bows, it has a rich history behind it, those that will have seen film ‘Narvik’ will have a good understanding of the importance the town played in WW2. The German army placed much importance on the strategic location of its port, the iron ore that was brought down by train from Northern Sweden, was vital in keeping Nazi war machine moving, if anyone wants to delve further into the history, we encourage you to do so. Nowadays the town is a hive of activity in line with most modern forward looking European towns, many museums await your arrival, as does the Artic train (Ofotbanen), which stretches 25 miles or so to the Swedish border, and who can forget the thrill of travelling up and down mountain side in the cable car.
Fjords and nature trials are to be found in abundance in the surrounding areas, it is not difficult to find yourself well of the beaten track, something that more and more people crave in these fast-paced times.
