Driving in Svolvær

Speed Limits

Like in the UK, speed limits are strictly enforced in Norway. In the city, the limit is 50km/h, but on the open roads, it can go up to 90km/h. If you're planning to take the scenic route through the countryside, be prepared for a limit of 80km/h. Always keep an eye out for signs, as conditions can dictate temporary changes to the limits.

Driving on the Right

Giving way to the right might seem weird at first for Brits, but it's the norm here in Norway. Yield to cars coming from your right, unless you're on a road with the yellow diamond sign, which means you have the right of way.

Parking in Svolvær

Do keep in mind that many areas in the city center require a parking ticket. Don't fret though, as ticket machines are easily located and some even accept card payments.

Attractions

As the gateway to the Lofoten Islands, Svolvær is a natural paradise with a rich history. Start your trip with a visit to the War Memorial Museum to learn about the town's past. Enjoy the fantastic local cuisine, and be sure to visit the Magic Ice Bar for some unique ice sculptures and, of course, a drink or two.

Friendly Locals

The local population is welcoming and friendly, with many able to converse in English. Don't hesitate to ask for directions or advice.

Svolvær's Climate

Svolvær enjoys a temperate oceanic climate. Be prepared for cold winters, with temperatures dipping as low as -7°C. In summer though, you can enjoy a pleasant 15°C on average. Rainy months are October and November so bring your wellies!

Currency and Paying

While Norway isn't a part of the European Union, almost all establishments accept payment by credit and debit card, so there is no need to carry too much cash. Norway's official currency is the Norwegian Krone (NOK).
