Special things to know about the location
Svensby is located in the west side of Lyngen and is accessible with a ferry from Breivikeidet, when arriving from Tromsø direction.
If you think of commuting from Tromsø, there is a bus (nro 150) that drives to Svensby (this may not be the most convenient option as they run only three times a day).
You can also drive from Tromsø. It takes about 45min to reach the ferry dock in Breivikeidet, where you can leave your car in a parking and take the ferry on foot, both are free of charge. The ferry Breivikeidet - Svensby takes 20 min.
If you would like to rent a place in Lyngen, we can help you to find an accommodation.
If you already live in Lyngen, good for you. :)
