In-Depth Information
Bergen
(Nkr848, 14½ hours) One overnight bus.
Namsos
(Nkr398, 3½ hours) Via Steinkjer (Nkr315, 2¼ hours).
If you're travelling by public transport to Narvik and points north, it's quicker - all is re-
lative - to take the train to Fauske or Bodø (the end of the line), then continue by bus.
TRAIN
There are two to four trains daily to/from Oslo (Nkr899, 6½ hours). Two head north to
Bodø (Nkr1059, 9¾ hours) via the following:
Fauske
(Nkr1018, 9¼ hours)
Mo i Rana
(Nkr847, 7½ hours)
Mosjøen
(Nkr763, 5½ hours)
A
minipris
ticket will considerably undercut these standard prices.
You can also train it to Steinkjer (Nkr217, two hours, hourly).
Getting Around
TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
15 minutes from 4am to 9pm (less frequently at weekends), stopping at major landmarks
such as the train station, Studentersamfundet and Britannia Hotel.
Trains run between Trondheim Sentralstasjon and the Værnes airport station (Nkr74, 30
to 40 minutes, half-hourly).
BICYCLE
As befits such a cycle-friendly city, Trondheim has a bike-hire scheme (Nkr50 per day).
Pick up a card at the tourist office in return for a refundable deposit of Nkr200 or €25, then
borrow a bike from any of the 12 cycle stations around town. You then return the bike to
one of the stations, and return the card to the tourist office to claim back your deposit.
Other cycle-friendly measures include clear signing of cycle routes, often traffic-free
and shared with pedestrians, a lane of smooth flagstones along cobbled streets that would
otherwise uncomfortably judder your and the bike's moving parts - and Trampe, the
heading from the Gamle Bybro up the Brubakken hill to Kristiansten Fort can hitch them-
selves.
