Situated in central
Norway about 400km/250mi south of the Arctic Circle,
Trondheim is easily accessible, irrespective of your
choice of transportation.
A train ride from Oslo takes 6:30‑9:20h, and may include changing trains. Detailed information can be found at the website of Norske Statsbaner NSB. Driving from Oslo to Trondheim takes 7h at least, taking the E6 to Hamar and then continuing on Riksvei 3 via Tynset, to rejoin the E6 again at Ulsberg, a 500km/300mi route altogether. Without the shortcut over the Riksvei 3, the trip is some 40-50km longer, adding about 1h driving time. Be informed that speed limits mostly at 80kmh=50mph are very strict, and daytime running lights (DRL's) are obligatory. Fines of any sort are very steep and very non-negotiable. On the other hand, the landscape is very picturesque and often grand, and out of town driving is generally very relaxed. |
Finally, Trondheim can be reached by the Hurtigruten coastal express, the former mail boat. Alternatively, Trondheim can serve as a starting point for a trip towards the north (roundtrip: 9 days) or south (roundtrip: 3 days). Many add-on options are available (including Spitsbergen); check out the Hurtigruten website for details.
The following text is excerpted from the website of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (as per 01 February 2009):
"Many foreign
citizens need a visa to visit Norway. What type of visa you need to
apply for depends on the reason for visiting. Different types of visa
have different conditions, and there are also different conditions for
you as an applicant.
The organizers of SMIT 2010 will under NO circumstances or conditions provide ANY financial warranty for ANY visa applicant!
Quota for free import of alcoholic beverages and tobacco, as well as a
range of other products are strictly limited. Further details can be
found at the
Norwegian custom's Tollvesenet website |
