Narvik Station

The station at Narvik is the northernmost station in the Schengen Area and the northernmost standard-gauge railway station in the world. It represents the northern terminus for one of Europe's most celebrated night trains. The Norrlandståget leaves Stockholm around six every afternoon, reaches Lappmarken by early the following morning, and then traverses the mountains that delimit the modern frontier between Sweden and Norway to reach the Ofotfjord, on the south shore of which lies the port of Narvik, where it arrives early afternoon. It is a journey which has been praised as "surely one of the most engaging adventures by train in all Europe".[1]

Onward journey is by bus only. The Narvik bus station is located about 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) further south (68°26′15″N 17°25′20″E / 68.43750°N 17.42222°E / 68.43750; 17.42222). Northbound buses stop also at the E6 highway (68°26′29″N 17°26′7″E / 68.44139°N 17.43528°E / 68.44139; 17.43528) a few hundred metres from the railway station, but not at the railway station.[2][better source needed] Southbound buses go from the bus station.
