Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Norway: What You Need to Know
Norway is a dramatic natural destination for Slovenian outdoor enthusiasts. The fjords of western Norway (Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord, Hardangerfjord), the Lofoten Islands, the Northern Lights in Tromso and Tromsø, and Bergen's UNESCO Bryggen wharf are world-famous. Norway's long tradition of friluftsliv (outdoor life) resonates with Slovenia's own outdoor culture; both nations have strong hiking, skiing, and cycling traditions. Norway is an EEA but not EU member; EU citizens enjoy identical freedom-of-movement rights.
How to Get There
Oslo: Viking Ship Museum (in new expanded form), Vigeland Sculpture Park in Frogner Park, the Munch Museum, Akershus Fortress, the Aker Brygge waterfront. Bergen: Bryggen (UNESCO), Floibanen funicular to Mount Floyen (panoramic view), the Fish Market. Flam: the Flamsbana mountain railway (steep descent through waterfalls and mountains) and Aurlandsfjord. Lofoten Islands: dramatic mountain-meets-sea scenery, rorbu fishermen's cabins, and sea eagle safaris.
Money & Banking
Norway uses the Norwegian krone (NOK). As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately NOK 11.5. Norway is one of the world's most expensive countries; a mid-range Oslo dinner costs NOK 250-400 (EUR 22-35). Buy alcohol at Vinmonopolet (state off-licence) rather than bars to save significantly. Fill petrol in Sweden before entering Norway.
Practical Tips
Oslo Airport (OSL) is served from Ljubljana via Vienna, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam by Norwegian, SAS, and connections. The Flytoget airport express train (20 minutes) connects OSL to Oslo S. Bergen is 7 hours from Oslo by the spectacular Bergensbanen railway. The Norway in a Nutshell tour covers Oslo-Voss-Flam-Bergen in a day via combination of train, mountain railway, and ferry.
