The Corliss Group Review on Travel Facts and Tips in Norway9 Years AgoIn
fact, many of the roads in Norway are closed or otherwise inaccessible the rest
of the year. The weather can be beautiful in the southern and urban areas.
In the
northern parts of the country however, it can be very cold. If
you’re planning on traveling much farther north than Oslo, you will need a warm
jacket, hat, gloves, etc.
Good to know before you travel
Passport and visa requirements On arrival in Norway,
you must show a valid passport or other official document that satisfactorily
establishes your identity
and nationality.
Travelling with pets. Norway is one of
few European countries where rabies is not found, and every precaution is being
taken to maintain this status.
Dogs,
cats and ferrets from all EU countries must have pet passports, ID marking and
valid rabies vaccination. Dogs must also be given approved tapeworm treatment,
minimum 24 and maximum 120 hours before arrival.
Small
rodents, cage birds and rabbits must have valid import permits issued by the
Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
What clothes should I pack? Whatever the
season, the Norwegian
weather is liable to change from day to day. So it is a good idea to bring
a selection of items.
Your
luggage should include some light clothes, items you can layer (that way you
can add or remove layers depending on temperature), at least one warm jumper,
waterproof coat and/or umbrella and comfortable walking shoes/boots/trainers.
If you
go during the winter, you will need an overcoat, scarf, gloves and warm
shoes/boots.
In
autumn and spring, you may want to bring waterproof trousers and boots.
For
the summer, lighten up, but remember that even summer evenings and nights can
be chilly, particularly in the mountains. |
