CAR & MOTORCYCLE
The E8 highway extends from Tornio, in Finland, to Tromsø; secondary highways connect
Finland with the northern Sami towns of Karasjok and Kautokeino. Regular buses serve all
three routes.
Russia
Russia has a short border with Norway and buses run twice daily between Kirkenes in Nor-
way and Murmansk in Russia (one way/return Nkr400/Nkr675, five hours). Once in Mur-
mansk, trains connect to St Petersburg and the rest of the Russian rail network.
To cross the border, you'll need a Russian visa, which must usually be applied for and is-
sued in your country of residence.
Sweden
BUS
Swebus Express ( 0771-21 82 18; www.swebus.se ) has the largest (and cheapest) buses
between Oslo and Swedish cities.
Among the numerous cross-border services along the long land frontier between Sweden
and Norway, there are twice-daily services between Narvik and Riksgränsen (one hour), on
the border, and Kiruna (three hours).
