Beathe from Beatravelling shared her photos of of her trip to the Lofoten Islands.

Lofoten Islands are a group of islands in northern Norway where you can fish, hike, and enjoy nature.

Lofoten Islands is 2 hours from the Narvik airport and a 22 hour train ride (or 3 hour flight) from Oslo.

The weather is the warmest in July and August. But if you want to see the Northern Lights, you should visit during September to April.
