Getting here

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 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.
