I’m planning to visit my Uncle who is working close to Reine. Which international airport is closest?

And how I can get there after I land? I found that the airport Leknes is about 35km from Reine, is that international airport, and how I can get there?

After that I think that it would be easy to move to Reine.

Also, can anybody suggest which parts should I visit while I’m in Norway?

  2. Leknes only handles domestic flights, and a quick look seems to indicate they only fly to/from Bodø.

    Most international flights goes to Gardermoen, with some going to other major airports like Sola, Flesland, Bodø or Tromsø.

    If you want to see Norway, and have the time, you could take a flight to Gardermoen, and take the train to Bodø via Trondheim. From Bodø you could – as MuftiMuffin suggests – either take the ferry or a flight.

  3. No airports in lofoten are international to my knowledge. You will have to take a second plane from oslo to one of the airports up north. Leknes or Svolvær will be the closest to Reine, however it’s usually very expensive to fly to these airports. I usually choose to take the plane to Evenes airport, when you arrive there will be a corresponding bus that goes directly to Reine.

    Edit: i forgot to say that flying to Bodø and taking the ferry from there might also be a cheap option (and the ferry trip can be amazing!). This can be a good option in summer, but absolutely not from october to march. The weather can be quite rough and the ferries can be cancelled for days at the time during these months

  4. Simplest solution regardless of where in the world you are traveling from would be this:

    Take a plane to Oslo airport Gardermoen

    Take a new fight from Gardermoen to Bodø airport

    Take the ferry from Bodø to Moskenes (its roughly 3-4 hrs, and it is free if you are on foot).

    Litterally walk to Reine, or just hike if you got a lot of luggage. Hiking is very common in Lofoten, somebody will pick you up.

    Edit; the reason that I reccomend that you do not fly to Leknes is because that route is usually stupidly expensive. Wideroe has a monopoly on that route, and they charge an arm and a leg.
