🚕 Getting around in Norway
Getting around Norway is one of the first things you figure out as a visitor or expat. Taxis, metro lines, buses and the unwritten rules locals follow shape your daily routine more than any guidebook.
In Norway, getting around comes down to a few things: trains through fjords, ferries are highways, and everything is expensive.
Ferries are highways
Coastal ferries (Hurtigruten) connect towns along Norway's coast. Car ferries cross fjords as part of the road network — just drive on and pay. They run like clockwork.
Everything is expensive
Norway is one of the world's most expensive countries. Taxi from Oslo airport: 700 NOK. A beer: 90-120 NOK. Plan accordingly. Public transport is the budget option.
