The best convertible routes around Unstad

The journey to Unstad itself is already an experience: a narrow, winding road winds through a narrow valley that finally opens up to the open sea. This access road is among the most impressive convertible routes on the Lofoten Islands and offers stunning views of mountains, cliffs, and the deep blue water. With the top down, every curve becomes a stage for Norway's extraordinary nature – a convertible tour straight out of a movie.

Unstad is located right in the middle of the famous Lofoten Scenic Route, which runs from Å in Lofoten to Raftsundet.
