Travelling through Norway - roads, airports, railway, bus transportation
The transport infrastructure in Norway is developed at a high level due to a good standard of living in the country. There are almost all types of public transport you can think of. Buses are however most often preferred by locals and tourists. The bus network connects not only the large cities of the country, but also remote provinces. There are several large bus companies operating in the country, with the main one being Lavris Ekspressen. The roads in the country have excellent asphalt covering and even in the cold season when it is constantly snowing, they (the roads and regional routes) are constantly cleared. In the large cities of the country there are trams, which are usually intended for intraurban transportation. There is also a metro in the capital, which connects the most popular areas of the city.

Aviation plays a leading role in Norway’s transport infrastructure. The domestic air transportation has been developed to a magnificent level. This is in general due to the fact that the country has a fairly complex mountainous terrain, thereby making it sometimes cheaper and faster to go on a trip by plane than by road. Also in winter, the most severe regions of Norway can only be reached by plane. The main airport in Norway is the airport Gardermoen in Oslo. The transport interchange from key airports of the country is thoroughly thought out. Buses, high-speed trains and other public transport regularly ply the route.

Kirkenes Airport is yet another airport worthy of mention. It is situated 13 kilometers from the city of the same name. The airport was originally built as a military one and was actively used during the Second World War. The highest passenger traffic is observed during the height of the tourist season. The reason for this is that both regular and charter flights usually arrive at about the same time, in order to give passengers the opportunity to get to the station in time to catch the cruise liners. Despite the fact that there are two runways in the territory of the city, there are plans for reconstruction. At the moment, a new control tower and a rescue station are being built, which will satisfy all the innovative standards. There is also in the plan, a program to expand the terminal itself.
Railway, bus, water and other transport
The most popular type of public transport in Norway are buses. You can buy tickets both in advance and directly from the driver, however in the latter option you will have to pay a higher fee. Special reductions of payment are provided for pensioners, students and children. Buses run in strict accordance with the schedule, and the technical condition of transport vehicles is at a decent level. Due to the incredibly high quality of highways in the country, car rental points are very popular among tourists. You can have access to this service at a charge rate of 3,000 to 6,000 kroner per week. If you choose this option, it is worth remembering that the cost of fuel here is quite high, and there are also toll gates and roads where you have to pay.

In Norway, sea transport is also very popular, especially ferries. They provide not only transportation along the coastline, but also connection with other neighboring countries, including Sweden and Scotland. In situations where there is a need for you to get to a particular region of the country in the shortest possible time, then it is best to use the domestic air service. The aviation sector of Norway has received the greatest development due to the rather complex terrain of the country. As a rule, all domestic airlines serve budgetary companies, so the cost of flying is usually low. From the airport to the center of the nearest cities, there are regular high-speed trains and buses. It is also possible to book a taxi or a transfer.
