The Ofoten Railway, which at the time of construction was both
the coldest and northernmost railway project in the world, is a
27-mile long line which runs between the town of Narvik in Norway
and Kiruna in Swedish Lapland.
The line was originally opened in November 1902 in order to haul
ore from mines in Kiruna, and while it is still an important
freight line between the Norway and Sweden, it is also a tourist
attraction in its own right, with hugely popular passenger services
running daily.
With Scandinavia being in Europe and connected to the European
Union in various ways, there is no need to apply for a visa when
travelling between different countries.
Norway is a safe and relatively laid-back country. Major cities are
both friendly and cosmopolitan and offer a wealth of wonderful
attractions to explore and enjoy including galleries, museums,
historical buildings, theatres and public gardens. Norwegians take
their leisure and recreation seriously, and the country offers some
of Europe's best café's bars and restaurants and a vibrant
nightlife.
