Express boat from Flåm to Bergen

by travelfrosch

UPDATE: As of 2012, the hydrofoil runs only from Flåm to Balestrand during summer.A scenic way to get to Bergen is via the express boat. This hydrofoil works its way down the Sognefjord to Bergen, and offers spectacular views on the way. If you're interested in traveling to Balestrand, the express boat is the best way to get to that lovely village (or at least the most fun!)The boat runs daily from June-August, with one or two departures per day. Total travel time from Flåm to Bergen or vice versa is a little over 5 hours. In 2009, One-way fare from Flåm to Bergen is NOK 645 for a single adult, NOK 968 "miniprice" for a round trip. There are also discounts for a "family" (up to 2 adults and 1 child) -- check the website for details. 50% discount for Inter-Rail (but NOT Eurail or Scanrail). The rules and restrictions change frequently, so always ask when purchasing.

Getting around by train in Norway

by Crazywoman

Norway with all it's fjords and mountains is not exactly a train friendly country, but we have trains that cover most cities from Kristiansand in the south to Bodø in the north. It is also possible to get to Narvik a bit further north if you travel from Sweden (I have added this link as well) The Nowegian traincompany NSB have some tickets called "minipris", which can be bought from 90 days before your travel. There are a limited amount of these tickets, but they are a really bargain, so if you have the chance to be a bit flexible on the dates at the same time as you plan well in advance you could be able to get one of these tickets. Especially in winter and snow there could be problems with the trains not being on time or being replaced by buses, so if you visit during this time of year, you should be prepared for problems and have a little patience.

Driving in Norway

by adema29

Being in Norway, you shall do what the Norwegians are doing (!). I am trying my best to copy them as a driver but I am still going crazy when in front of me, an 85 yrs. old “Viking” driving a huge Volvo, 2 liters with 60 km/hr. We have somehow to respect the way they are valuing the rules and I am sure that everybody will have to learn from them about prevention.They are stopping every time when somebody starts thinking about crossing the road. Their kids are still riding their bicycles on the road without any problem… As I am always saying, Norway is our lost and last “sanctuary” and we must help them to save it like this.

quite a STUPID car-Toll-system

by globetrott

Well, lets start with the positive part of that Toll-system: I did not pay anything yet, maybe because I am just a "tiny fish" who does not owe them more than around 20 euros or so...IMHO this is the most stupid way to collect money from foreign cardrivers, stupid for them and stupid for us: The Toll-system for cars is fully automatic and an invoice will be sent to your homeadress ! It might take 1-6 months untill you get a letter from Great Britain and who knows, maybe I will have my 1st invoices already in my postbox in Vienna, while I am still driving through Norway. (This is what I thought, while planning to drive through Norway untill early November)-.OK, then I had my carproblems and came home already end of September and found out : I did not yet get the invoice in my postbox, although I did not drive anywhere in Norway after Sept. 11th.Next question is : Will they send 1 bill for...

Cruising with Hurtigruten

by globetrott

Well, maybe the expression "cruising" might be a bit misleading, especially for people who have made a lot of cruises already, but Hurtigruten is certainly the best way to see all of the coast of Norway. Hurtigruten is the name of the well-known post-ships cruising every day of the year along the norwegian coast on a fixed schedule between Bergen and Kirkenes. The Hurtigruten are NOT a real cruise and in most ports you will stay for just about 30-60 minutes in the port, but here in Tromsoe they stay for a longer time, see below! The ship will open the gangway for passengers to go ashore and they will also start to unload and load all sorts of goods, cars, different articles from small boxes to giant machineries. In case that you like to see more of the places closeby, you have to book one of their excursions and join the ship again at the next port.Cars can be taken onboard of a...

Coast Air

by Saagar

Coast Air has a limited operation between coastal towns Haugesund-Bergen-Molde-Trondheim in Southern Norway, and Bodø, Andenes and Tromsø in Northern Norway, plus some odd inland flights and connections east-west. If you want to combine with other means of transportation this airlies may take you quickly past areas you want to avoid or have seen previously, i.e. in connection with the Coastal Express liner. The flights' clientele are mainly business travellers.

Bus

by tini58de

From Tromso we took the bus south to Fauske via Narvik. Boy, what a beautiful landscape it was - I enjoyed every minute of this ride!There is a seat guarantee, so you don't have to make reservations ahead of time! Just go there, take your seat, pay and enjoy!!! (I was told that in the unlikely case that the bus is full, they will call a taxi for you, but you only pay your regular bus fare in that case!)

Overnight Train

by tini58de

Thanks to VT member knerten we found out about this fabulous offer: just 199 NOKs for a ticket one way from destination A to destination B. Just a little bit more expensive when you decide to take a sleeper....So I booked in advanced - and boy, I got a wrong reservation, because I had not paid attention enough! Still, nsb was kind enough to reimburse me for the wrong tickets and give me another chance to book the correct ones! It worked out just fine - the bus arrived in Fauske just in time and the conductor knew we were coming and had our tickets with him! The only BUT was that the compartment was extremely small, so we had a hard time fitting the three of us in plus all of our luggage - but at the end it worked out fine and we went from Fauske to Trondheim for a real cheap fare!!! Loved it!!!

Scenic Train

by tini58de

From Trondheim to Oslo we had a 199 NOK special fare ticket as well and that included a reservation. Well, unfortunately those seats were not nice - no window... so I stood up and looked for an empty seat with a nice view which luckily worked out fine!I did enjoy the train ride very much, but the landscape and the weather just were not as nice as in the north, so it was only a so-so journey...I guess it was not their fault, it was just a matter of circumstances!

Hurtigruten

by tini58de

Hurtigruten ships and ferries used to be post ships, but now they are a Norwegian institution. Now they offer the most breathtaking tours along the Norwegian coast with all the fjords and natural beauties that this country has to offer! Do check out their offers!Hurtigruten ships also function as ferries, like in our case when we had to cross a fjord. We spent an enjoyable 20 minutes on the ferry, which was totally unexpected, but nevertheless fantastic!
