Narvik can be found in northern Norway and is historically very significant. Not only is it located in a strategically excellent location next to Ofotfjord, but the ice-free harbor was one of the key ports during World War II. While this lures many history buffs to Narvik, it’s the adventurous and outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and camping in Narvik that makes it such a go-to area today.
