Florø Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Florø airport is less than 2 km from the centre: a taxi covers the distance in 5-10 minutes. Besides scheduled flights, the terminal is also the base for the helicopters that carry workers to the North Sea platforms, including the Snorre field: part of the traffic, then, is made up of offshore shift workers rather than tourists. Being Norway's westernmost city, gathered around its harbour, staying in the centre remains the simplest choice even for those flying at dawn; those looking instead for a quieter base for fishing can look to Krokane, on the fjord just outside town.

Central Florø

City centre · Taxi Florø from the centre to the airport in 5-10 minutes; no dedicated shuttle, but the distances are minimal.

Best for: Those who want the harbour, the ferries and the town centre a short walk away, with the airport a 5-10 minute taxi ride.

Pros

Harbour, ferry terminal and the shopping street of Strandgata within walking distance
More price ranges to choose from, from the B&B to the hotel with fjord views

Cons

In high season rooms sell out fast because of the offshore helicopter shift changes
Limited evening life compared to bigger Norwegian cities, being a town of about 8,000 residents

Krokane, on the fjord

Nearby town · About 2 km from central Florø and 4 km from the airport, so 5-10 minutes by car or taxi in either case.

Best for: Those coming for fishing or wanting a longer stay in a cabin on the fjord, a few minutes from both the centre and the airport.

Pros

Cabins and apartments on the fjord with an outdoor pool, more spacious than a hotel room
Among the highest ratings in the area, frequented mostly by those coming for the fishing

Cons

You need a car to get around: no shops or restaurants within easy reach as in the centre
Designed for multi-night stays, less suited to those stopping only for a layover
