Mo i Rana is the gateway to the Arctic Circle, which crosses its municipal boundaries from east to west. With a population of some 25,000 people, it is the third-largest city in the north of Norway.
Credit for the city's recent rapid population growth goes to the steel and iron industry. In fact, the buildings here are industrial, ugly boxes for the most part, though they are welcoming havens on cold and windy days.
Use Mo i Rana as a gateway to one of the largest wildernesses in Europe. It is not known for its grand architecture, but for the magnificent setting that it occupies, with adventure travel possible in all directions.

Transport Links - The quickest way to Mo i Rana is to fly in on a daily flight from Trondheim, arriving at the Røssvoll airport, lying 14km (8 1/2 miles) from the center. Widerøe Airlines flies here. You can also arrive by train at the Mo i Rana Train Station. Two or three trains arrive daily from Trondheim, costing 600NOK ($85) one-way and taking just under 7 hours. Bus service takes longer, is inconvenient, and saves you neither time nor money, so it's not recommended. Motorists can take the E6 north from Trondheim.
