TTR52 Out & About Oslo - Bergen Oslo, not the largest of the Nordic capital cities, but certainly the most stunning; lying deep in the Oslofjord. Comings and goings are fascinating: by water there are Scandinavian connections and ferries to Germany, and if you fly in there is the new high speed line from Gardemond airport and the Flytoget to look forward to. The NSB's - Norwegian State Railway - hub is Oslo S, arrival point for the airport trains and the starting point for unforgettable main line journeys within Norway, or to near neighbour - and past ruler - Sweden. Perhaps more than any other Nordic city you need to use the suburban railway - the T-banen - to optimise your time in the city. The T- banen runs metro style in the city, then pantographs raised, train style to suburbs and fjord towns. The NSB suburban trains are not pretty but are superbly spacious and reliable. City visits include the Viking museum and the Kontiki. Our day trips: Halden, the last Norwegian city on the run to Göteborg where the views from the fort are fantastic, and Bergen - you can't really make this one in a day - we see the UNESCO city, cruise the fjords and take the Flåmbanen - where the views are as stunning as as you will find ANYWHERE in Europe. The run to Bergen is across the 'top of the world' dashing through the mountain snow at 160kph under bright blue skies. If you plan to visit Norway and use the train this is the definitive guide!
