Around Kirkenes

Kirkenes is the gateway to a region where Arctic nature, vibrant culture and strong histories meet. Around the city you will find small communities, each with its own distinct identity and character. From the coast and fjords of Bugøynes and Grense Jakobselv, to the lush forests of Pasvikdalen and the rich cultural heritage of Neiden.

Take a trip outside Kirkenes and discover the places that make the region something truly special. Here, magnificent nature, local traditions, frontier history and genuine encounters with small communities far to the north await.
