Need suggestions.

I’m going to Bergen and Stavanger in 3 weeks, and a friend suggested to go visit Lofoten islands too. Would 2 full days in Lofoten be worth it?

No it would not be worth it. Travel to Bodo to get to the ferry and then back already takes 2 days. Plus the weather is very fickled so you might not get to hike and enjoy the full scenery. I was there in August for 2 weeks and it literally rained 60 percent of the time.

We are thinking of flying directly to Leknes of Svolvær. 2 full days excluding travel time, but I think you are right. We need to go back and spend at least a whole week to be able to enjoy all of the islands.

It's could be worth it, but it would be rushed.

If the weather is nice and that doesn’t include travel time, yes.

If the weather looks nice this time of year, I think it would be worth it. we flew into Leknes (in August 2023) which was very easy. You will just wish you could stay longer / will be eager to go back!
