LOFOTEN ISLANDS & NORTHERN NORWAY | 10-14 Days Tromsø to Lofoten Road Trip Itinerary

The Lofoten Islands are located within the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. With jaw-dropping landscapes, long stretches of white-sand beaches, narrow fjords, and small fishing villages, this is truly one of the most beautiful destinations in the entire world. We were lucky to spend 14 days traveling from Tromsø to the Lofoten Islands. This time allowed us to see the highlights of the region as well as some lesser-visited spots outside the Lofoten.

For the toll of roads, tunnels and bridges with a rental car, does he give the bill at the end or is it included in the rental? Do you have any idea of ​​the prices? 😬 Thanks very much!!!!😁
