Travel in Norway
By Car

Be aware of the fact that driving in Norway takes a lot more time than you are used to. This is because of curvy roads (max. speed 60 – 80 kph or 35 – 55 mph) and fjord crossings by ferry. This means you have to take your time for the transportation laps.

We would advice you to buy a roadmap (can be bought at petrol station), which makes it easier to navigate (the road signs are not always so clear, and GPS does not always work.

Be aware that the fines for driving too fast are enormous, so watch your speed.

While driving in the mountains, always have water with you and some snacks.

Remember it might be far to the next petrol station.
