Trømso or Svolvær

Posted by (SD) on

Would love your suggestion...
We land in Trømso in the afternoon and were planning to stay the night there and head to Lofoten next morning. But after researching, I find it's better to spend more time in Lofoten(summer visit). Would help a lot, if I can get some suggestions to stay back in Trømso or head out to Svolvær. We will have 3 full days to explore Lofoten if we leave the day we land at Trømso.

We were planning to see the Arctic Cathedral and visit the funicular in Tromso to see the midnight sun if we stay back.

Thanks Much.

Thanks Mark. I am booked to stay in Ballstad and Henningsvær. I know it's short trip but trying to make most out of it. We leave on the fourth day late evening flight. So hoping to do RIB/ sail cruise at Trollfjord fjord one day and hike one day and of course drive around in our rental car to explore areas around.
Senja would be not possible and we already have non refundable hotels booked at above places
Is Tromsø worth while instead of Svolvær? As we can go sail(takes 6 hrs) through Trollfjord fjord instead of Fjellheisen.
Or we stay Tromsø, see Fjellheisen and do midnight concert at Arctic Cathedral and leave early morning next day and reach Svolvær around 12 pm(6 hrs drive). We can do RIB boat through Trollfjord fjord( 2 hrs) and hike Festvgtind( 1:5/2 hrs) that day. Make the most of sunlight during the summer months.

Thanks.

Sorry Mark, should have mentioned. Maybe I'll do refundable booking at both places. And see the weather 2/3 days before and then decide.

Back at the same place .... I was thinking maybe someone will have a more definitive answer which could help me decide :)

Thanks.
