Getting to Troms and around

By plane

Troms has three airports with direct connections with Oslo Airport Gardermoen:

• Harstad/Narvik Airport Evenes
• Bardufoss Airport
• Tromsø Airport

Sørkjosen Airport in Northern Troms is a smaller airport with flights to Tromsø and various destinations in Finnmark, including Kirkenes.

By car

Three European highways pass through the county of Troms:

• E6 goes from the north to the south and is not reliant on ferry connections
• E10 connects Nordland, Lofoten and Southern Troms with Kiruna in Sweden
• E8 connects Troms with Finland

The Coastal Route is an alternative south-north drive through the county. With fjords and ferries it provides a different motoring experience than E6.

Troms is also covered by a network of county and municipal roads.
