Thanasis, my host, made the trip special. He could not have been more helpful. The accommodation was super and was everything as described. The town itself had everything needed and the township was great to walk around. A tip for those arriving by plane...book a taxi to Kirkenes in advance. It was a blizzard when I arrived and all the taxis were taken. It was freezing and I was lucky that a driver called a taxi. for me or I might still be there. Thanasis drove me back to the airport upon my departure as the bus wasn't timed to coordinate with the plane departure time. An excellent host! I missed the Northern Lights but Thanasis sent me a photograph of them the following night. My timing was off by one night.

Kirkenes is a small pleasant town with few sights but the Grenselandmuseet is well worth a visit. The location is recommended for viewing the Northern Lights but it was too cloudy during our visit (Nov). There are a few restaurants in the centre, the most popular being the Ritz with very good pizzas.

It is the area around Kirkenes that is the main attraction. We travelled to Grensa Jacobselv beach which was beautiful and sunny on the day we visited, same for Ovre Pasvik National Park which was breathtakinlgy beautiful. Both are quite a drive from Kirkenes though and we chose the town to learn about the history from WWII, the hotel had a pool (although it was not operational!!) and as the airport was there. Next time we would definitely go for a cabin in the woods and see the reindeer up close.
In town we ate at Surf n Turf which was decent, waiter had a sense of humour and good was quite good. Nothing spectacular but good enough, depends what you like. The other place we ate in town was Ritz, which was an excellent pizza and we would recommend it for the food but was pricey compared to other towns in Norway; little other choice though. Most other places were closed we assumed due to no tourists, so not worth it or maybe worse closed down following Covid downturn.
The central part of town had the feeling of needing a boost from its Covid slumber.
We loved the area though and will come back, armed with better knowledge than first-timers.

We stayed 5 days, much longer than most visitors because we wanted to maximize the chance to see the northern lights. As it turned out, 4 nights were cloudy and on the last night, the skies cleared a little and being at Sollia and having trekked into the countryside up the hill from the lodge, gave us the best chance to view the lights, just a 10 minute walk from our room.
There were enough activities in kirkenes to keep us amused for 5 days - dog sledding with Birk's (here you're the driver of the sleds), king crab expedition and you drive yourself there on the frozen Barents Sea, the Andersgrotta the underground bunker was very interesting, hiking in the Taiga, and we had to have our daily coffee at Johnny's Lunch Cafe in Kirkenes. Johnny is an Italian and makes coffee the only acceptable way with an Italian Expresso machine. Thank heavens for Johnny's! Coffee in Kirkenes mostly comes out of cafeteria type/press the button coffee.

If you plan to visit the north of Norway in the winter, a stay in Kirkenes will give you the full experience. Area is save, people are friendly and all services like transport ext. works as clockwork. Also a lot to do in the short winters day.
Wonderful welcome from a very caring couple. .walking distance from Hurtigruten/havila port. Lovely wooden house. Felt like home from home. Very clean.Everything provided for long or short stay. Even dishwasher and washing machine. Walking distance to town. Owners told me when the Northern Lights were visible, so I could run out and see. Tlanassis also drove me to Border and Snow Hotel. I would absolutely love to stay there again. Thank you, both..You deserve to do well, and I'm sure that you will.
The flat is beautiful, accessible and wonderfully located with a view on the harbour. It’s easy to arrive there by taking the bus from the airport in Kirkenes. It is also very easy to walk from the flat to the Hurtigruten terminal. The host is extremely kind and generous, he welcomed us personally and shared with us stories and tips about the country. In the flat you have all the comforts you need. We highly recommend a stay at GotoKirkenes. And many thanks for having us!
Excellent hotel for a very small town. Great view over Kirkenes Bay. Very quiet. Conveninet location at the edge of town, about a 20-minute walk from the Hutigruten/ Havila ferry terminal, and the Airport Express bus stops in front of the hotel, timed to meet the twice-daily flight to Oslo (cost 150 NOK). And great buffet breakfast!
This is a very special place. In winter, you have the ice rooms and lots of snow activities. But now, in the golden autumn, all is different. You have your own place under the trees, all is calm, you get excellent food, and when you step out your door in the night you see the Northern lights.
The staff at the hotel is exceptional. Think top hotel league, but with an Arctic small town twist. Totally made my stay. Sure, the hotel has a great pool and saunas, it is located at the very center of Kirkenes. Yet the staff is what makes this hotel unique.
Great central location in the middle of town. Hotel cafe open in evening which meant I was able to get a light supper on my evening arrival in Kirkenes. The swimming pool is a super facility (had a refreshing pre breakfast swim). Helpful reception staff.
Perfect location and beautiful view, comfortable bed.
The owner was very kind and allowed me to dine in the restaurant which is connected to the hotel. I came very late and was very hungry, so I really appreciate the effort and the thought.
Convenient location in the very center of Kirkenes. Everything is within walking distance. Friendly staff. Good water pressure in the bathroom. Clear. Quietly. Good wi-fi is everywhere inside the hotel. I recommend👍
Nice service, we got a good dinner even though we arrived late in the evening. Very simple standard but a good shower and comfy bed. Good price. You can have breakfast at local café or tve fancier nearby hotels.
The location of the hotel is great. You can sit directly at the waterfront and enjoy the weather.
The food and the service at the restaurant is pretty good. The breakfast was as well very good.
Mesmerizing experience,excellent food .Great and coordinated stuff.The Chef even took suggestions.Snow yoga and Puppy walk was great.The king crab hunt is the most sought after activity.
Very nice property, very clean, pretty location, really extra nice staff, activities available. The drivers I had were great! When they have a lot of snow I am sure it is amazing.
I don't take breakfast. I was in Kirkenes on Christmas time. Shopping was closed, is difficult rafe the level of service, but I looking for to next visit your city :-)
A very comfortable room and a partial view of the ocean. The staff was helpful and amicable. Breakfast was nice, no different than the other 14 I had in Norway.
