By train:
Did you know that Norway is home to several of the most beautiful train journeys in the world? Travelling by train is a good way to travel effortlessly and enjoy the stunning scenery. Some trains also have overnight sleeping compartments.
By bus:
Norway is well-connected by both local and regional buses. Although cross-regional long-distance bus network is less known to most visitors than the railway lines, they are also an affordable and comfortable way to travel between cities like Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Haugesund and Trondheim, and to many popular fjord and mountain destinations.
By boat:
As a coastal nation, ferries and express boats are important modes of transportation. They can take you to across the fjord, along the coast, and island hopping with your bicycle to remote islands!
