Norway is expensive, but not always glamorous. Norway is famous fords, falling sky, pine forests and white nights in summer. In winter, it is a country of cold and darkness, and the suicide rate there is corresponding - one of the highest in Europe. Norwegians may be depressive, but their aggression only applies to themselves. for comparison, there are only 35 murders per 4.5 million population per year. so it is quite possible to call this country the safest in the world.

Rest is not the cheapest (and according to the latest data - the most expensive, since Oslo was recognized as the most expensive city in 2005) - drinking a glass of beer in any cafe will cost you at least 50 NOK ($ 10), and eating - and even more expensive .

if you have already gone to Oslo, then you definitely need to take a ferry ride along the Oslo Fjord, land on small islands in the bay, climb the mountain with the famous ski jump and go to the Nobel Peace Prize Museum.


if after all this you still have money - go to Bergen (by right - the most beautiful city in Norway, surrounded by 7 mountains and 7 fjords) by train. The Oslo-Bergen railway is considered one of the most picturesque in the world, and, believe me, all 7 hours spent on the train, I did not stick off the window. Majestic mountains, snowy peaks even in summer, mountain rivers and small houses - it's impossible to put into words. you have to go and see.

But only if you have enough money!

Norway is a very beautiful northern country with harsh beauty! studied there in the summer. when you go to Bergen, you will not see half if not more of the road - Norway is famous for its longest tunnels in the world. but it's very beautiful, I can't argue. as well as expensive. You can safely eat yourself and not go to bars))))

I'm thinking of going to Amsterdam in the spring. Tell me where to find such tours, in order to approximately see the cost and program. I want to stay in Amsterdam for 4-5 days and only, is there such a thing?

Traveled from Stockholm to Oslo by train. We booked online and paid in advance with a credit card - 35 euros round trip. Hot dog - 2.5 euros, a bowl of fast soup - 10 dollars. Here's your take on the prices. We received an Oslo card for 3 days, so we went together. transport freely. In fact, no one asks for directions, only if you show yourself. We went on a city tour (there is a discount when applying for an Oslo card), but we managed to take a 5-hour tour - ... for free. Although all these routes can be easily traveled by public transport without any additional payments. They sailed on a caravel along the Oslo Fjord on the same map completely freely. Everywhere is full of maps of the city and traffic patterns ... at every stop and in hotels. The scheme of the city is extremely simple, so it is difficult to get lost there. We sorted it out within the first day. We went to the suburbs, Drobak - a very picturesque resort on the Santa post office. Travel 30 euros one way by bus, and with the Oslo card - 20 euros ... Expensive!
Souvenirs are full, dear ... magnets from 5 euros. everything else is even more expensive... you have to charge 315 crowns (45 euros) to get the minimum free tax... from 12%. Typically, stores with this service have blue stickers on doors and windows.
