GETTING THERE & AWAY
Norway is well linked to other European countries by air. There are also regular bus and rail
services to Norway from neighbouring Sweden and Finland (from where there are connec-
tions further afield to Europe), with less regular (and more complicated) services to/from
Russia. Regular car and passenger ferries also connect southern Norwegian ports with
Denmark, Sweden and Germany.

Entering Norway
Crossing most borders into Norway is usually hassle-free. That's particularly the case if
you're arriving by road where, in some cases, you may not even realise that you've crossed
the border.
If you're arriving in Norway from a non-EU or non-Schengen country, expect your papers
to be checked carefully. If you're from a non-Western country, expect that you and your
baggage will come under greater scrutiny than other travellers at airports and some of the
staffed border crossings; this also applies for all travellers crossing by land into Norway
from Russia.
Passport
All travellers - other than citizens of Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Finland - require a
valid passport to enter Norway.
