The town of Leknes is situated in Nordland County in the north of Norway. Found in the centre of the Lofoten archipelago, it is actually one of the very few towns in Lofoten that does not have its town centre next to the sea. Hiring a car from Leknes Airport lets you explore some of the most stunning, natural surroundings in the country, with its mountains, cliffs, and glorious white sandy beaches. Leknes is the trading and shopping centre in Lofton and its harbour is one of the most important in the country, along with being one of the most visited by cruise ships.
Rent a car from Leknes Airport and head out on a sea safari. On these safaris you have the chance to witness sea eagles soaring above you as well as sperm whales swimming next to you. You may also catch a glimpse of minke, orca, and pilot whales along with white beaked dolphins. Drive just 15km north of Leknes to Borg where you will find the longest Viking longhouse to have ever been found, measuring an impressive 83 metres. Enjoy a Viking feast with storytelling, try your hand at archery, and even have a go at rowing a Viking ship.
