By road
Vesterålen is connected to the mainland and the E6 with two-lane highways. Several bridges and tunnels link the island group of Vesterålen together.
Norway has a unique traffic culture in the way that it is probably the only country in the world where pedestrians actually cross raods without paying much attention to cars, expecting cars to slow down or even stop. The same goes for bicyclists. They are using the roads, and often don’t follow traffic rules. There has been reported many dangerous situations and accidents between cars driven by tourists and bicyclists and pedestrians. It is probably a new experience for many driving tourists to share the roads with bicyclists and pedestrians.
There are daily buses from larger cities in Northern Norway to Sortland, the largest town in Vesterålen.
