Train travel in Norway

Norway is home to several of Europe's most scenic railway lines including the popular Bergen-Oslo line and the Flåm Railway.

 

Rail tickets in Norway allow up to two months to complete your journey although you must stick to your route. It can be a good idea to break your route and discover a different part of Norway before continuing your journey.

 

On route where it is compulsory to make a seat reservation (NOK20) you will need to pick up your reserved ticket by the last weekday before your departure. This can be a real bummer if you're looking forward to spontaneous travel on your railpass since you may need to plan your journey several days in advance. If you make a last minute decision to take a train or are otherwise unable to make a seat reservation the conductor may be able to find you a seat, although you may have to stand (or stay in the bar) if the train is full.
