Train travel in Norway
There are various options when it comes to travelling by train throughout Norway including national and local/regional routes. Visitors often like to travel on the Bergen Oslo rail line and on the Flaam railway - not specifically to get anywhere but because these are two of the most scenic railway lines in the world.
Driving in Norway
You need to be 18 or over to drive in Norway. Many rural roads will be quieter than you are used to in Britain - bear in mind that some roads may close in winter bad weather and winter tyres are a must here. Seatbelts are compulsory in the country as is the use of dipped headlights at all times (even during the day). Norwegians drive on the right hand side of the road.
Travelling by water in Norway
Ferries and cruise ships aren’t just a good way of sight-seeing in Norway. In many places they are a significant means of public transport. Most ferry services and cruises will be found on the western coast of the country in the fjord areas.
