Hi Everyone,
Visit Norway have launched a new competition today in search of four ordinary people who are seeking an extraordinary adventure to be the stars of its summer postcard photo-shoot in Northern Norway.
The 4 winning models will travel with a partner to Norway in August to take centre stage in a photo shoot with a professional photographer plus a friend. Postcards will subsequently be printed and sold in Northern Norway.
If you think you might be interested, please take a look at [h…
Hi,
I reach Oslo at 11 PM on Monday night from Stavanger and my flight is the next day morning at 6 AM. Since Oslo Rygge airport is not open during the night and the bus for the airport leaves only at 4, I have some hours free in Oslo.
I was wondering if you could suggest some interesting places where I could hang out for a couple of hours at least, if not the entire time. (preferably near the bus terminal since I doubt if public transport will be working at that time of the night). I do not…
Hi everyone
This summer, I will be flying in to Oslo and making my way over to Bergen over the course of 4 days using local transportation/trains. I'm planning to stay overnight in Voss one night as I'd like to go skydiving in the area, but haven't settled on other places for my overnights yet (probably also Flam, Bergen).
Do you have any recommendations on the best day hikes around the Oslo-->Bergen route? I'd like to go on 1 or 2 day hikes (around 7 hours each), that maximize great scenery…
Hi!
My best friend and I have booked an amazing trip to Scandinavia leaving on the 29th June. We're both 19 and have not done any travelling alone, although a bit scary we are both so excited! We fly into Copenhagen on the 30th June and are going to the Roskilde Festival for one day and are going on a Contiki Trip for 10 days around the 3 countries and it finishes in Stockholm on the 11th July. We have 4 days in Stockholm and was just wondering if anyone has been anywhere and had an absolutely…
I'm driving through Norway in July and heard that parking in Oslo can be very expensive. I also heard you have to find a gas station and pay a toll when you enter the city - is that true? I am probably staying in the Bygdøy-Frogner area. Does anyone know what the parking situation will be like in that area? Would it be better to stay somewhere slightly farther away from the city center? Thanks so much!
Hi
I'm planning to drive from Oslo to Bergen, and from Bergen to Stavanger, in early July. My boyfriend is keen on camping somewhere in the mountains on the way to Bergen. I am not a huge fan of camping but will do it if there's a place with easily accessible and clean bathroom facilities. Can anyone recommend any places to stop along the way? Also, how cold/warm will it be in the mountains? I'm not exactly sure what to pack if we're camping...
We'd like to spend a night in Bergen too, but…
Hi all!
I desperately need your help :)
I will arrive to Bergen the 4th of August and I will have two full weeks and still designing the trip.
The goal is not to stay in Bergen because I will be there after the trip finishes, so Bergen is just the starting point.
The purpose of the trip is to do a low budget trip, get to know the feel of Norway, enjoy the final days of Summer in Norway since after that I will probably not travel again outside of Bergen.
My options would be rent a bike and…
HI everyone!
We are two persons who would love to experience Norway in a campervan! We are looking for something cheap and small to rent, either from a company or from other fellow travellers.
Any ideas or suggestion where to rent a CHEAP van?
Travel dates are from end of may untill end of june. Nothing exact, we can suit our plans after the right car :-)

Hi all,
Going to Bergen 15th of July, looking to go to Bodo from there with overnight train. I like to know whether its more scenic to go with boat Hortiguten to Tromso or by Bus and does anyone know of a link to any bus line that services that route and what is the price and how is the service comfort etc should we book ahead? Thanks so much for your input....
Hello everybody,
We plan to spend 3 weeks in Southern Norway in June. Our main interests are hiking and climbing (bouldering, bolted routes). We prefer not to travel around every day, but base ourselves in 3-4 locations for several days. Can someone help to put together an itinerary and give tips for nice camping spots? Also, what is the travel time between Oslo-Bergen-Stavanger?
thank you
