Find your way to Norway

So why haven't we had the pleasure of your company yet? You might have thought that Norway is far away and hard to get to, but you'd be wrong: There are direct flights from many places around the world, and if you live closer by, you can take a boat, a train, or a bus - or even drive.

By plane

The main airport in Norway is Oslo Airport, with scheduled flights to around 140 destinations abroad. However, you should be prepared to change planes at some point, in order to reach your final destination in Norway.

By train

An extensive rail network links Norway to the other Scandinavian countries and the rest of Europe, whereas the national trains are served by NSB, the Norwegian State Railways.

There are regular train connections to the capital city of Oslo from Copenhagen several times a week.

Most rail journeys from the continent are overnight, and you will find sleeping compartments on all of them. A variety of discount passes are available for train travel in Europe and Norway. Not all trains offer first-class service, but second-class is of a high standard.

By car

You are most likely to arrive by car from Sweden, but Norway also borders to Russia and Finland.

Whether you enter Norway by road from Sweden, Finland or Russia, customs checks are in place. Full passport control checks are found in the lone Norwegian-Russian land border crossing between Borisoglebsky and Storskog.

Major roads to Norway include European route E6 which runs through Malmö, Helsingborg, and Gothenburg in Sweden, before crossing the border at Svinesund in the south-east of Norway, and E8 which runs through Turku, Vaasa and Oulu in Finland before crossing the border at Kilpisjärvi.  

You can also bring your car from all cities and towns in Norway providing ferry services to international destinations.

By bus

You can reach Norway by bus from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Russia.

Service from Gothenburg in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark is almost hourly. The service to Stockholm is also far more frequent than the train. Different operators offer cheap bus tickets between the large cities in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

By boat

Ferry connections are possible between Norway and Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the UK. Most ferry operators offer package deals that include taking a car and passengers, and most lines offer substantial discounts for seniors, students and children.

Norwegian ports offering marina facilities include Oslo, Bergen, Kristiansand and Stavanger.

Norway is a popular cruise destination, and several cruise lines call at Norwegian ports. Most cruises are heading to the fjords and the pretty seaside cities, such as Bergen. The Svalbard Islands, Honningsvåg, Tromsø, Hammerfest, Trondheim and Ålesund are all regular features on Norwegian cruise itineraries.
