Brønnøysund Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Brønnøysund airport is just over 1 km from the centre: taxis and buses cover the distance in 5-10 minutes. This is the starting point for Mount Torghatten, with the famous natural hole running through it, and for the Vega archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage site: two destinations that explain why many visitors stay in the area for only a night or two. The centre remains the most convenient base for those catching a flight or the Hurtigruten ferry, while those wanting to sleep right at the foot of Torghatten can move to the island of Torget, a few kilometres away by water.

City centre · About 1.1 km from the airport, 5-10 minutes on foot or by taxi; the Thon Hotel is 2 km from the terminal.

Best for: Those catching the flight or the Hurtigruten ferry who want to stay close to the harbour and the shops.

Pros

The Hurtigruten pier, the bus station and the shops of the centre within walking distance
Two different price ranges: a chain hotel or a small family-run inn

Cons

No dedicated airport shuttle, you need a taxi or a short walk

Torget, at the foot of Torghatten

Nearby town · About 6-7 km from central Brønnøysund, on the island of Torget connected by a bridge; by car 10-15 minutes from the airport.

Cons

Without a car it's inconvenient to travel to the centre or the airport
