Just an FYI for anyone else that wanna do this trip... Going to Bodø is a total waste of time, unless you're planning on taking a boat furter north... You should instead jump off at Fauske Station, that's the hub for all the busses going north, and Bodø is actually more south and will complicate and make things more expensive... There are great accomodations on Fauske, so shouldn't be any problem getting an overnight stay... Good luck on Your Journey fellow Travellers 💚

Let's take a moment to remember that Narvik has its own train station, which is not connected to the rest of Norway but rather connected to the Swedish rail network.

Which may have been a better and cheeper journey!

EPIC!! 2:12 I laughed myself silly after that line. ha! 🤣

Great journey. Beautiful landscape. My only way of visiting Norway. Thanks for sharing.

There is a through ticket from Oslo by train to Fauske and bus to Narvik and Tromsø. It's terrible to sit for 29 hours and no hotel break, but you can get them as low as 140 Euro. Compatible with most flight fares.

@rolf7135 Год назад

Very interesting to see your traveling in Norway! I look forward to seeing if you enjoyed Tromsø and the last leg to North Cape.

@JackRoaming Год назад

Thanks a lot! It's an amazing country.

@rolf7135 Год назад

@@JackRoaming That is very nice to hear, Tromsø is my hometown, so it is nice to see how I can travel down to Spain by train and bus😀

@JackRoaming Год назад

@@rolf7135 It's a great place! Spoiler alert, it will be in the next episode:) Yes, you could do this journey in reverse, the prices would steadily go down if you travel from Norway to Spain!

@rolf7135 Год назад

@@JackRoaming That is nice to hear, I hope you had not to bad weather the last part of the journey.The euro has become so expensive the last couple of days, so it probably will be expensive to travle through Europe to :) . As prices go, you actually have avoided one of the most expensive thing you can do in Norway, take plane from one small place to another small place. Full flex tickets and also low price tickes is very, very expensive to Norwegian standards (it is usally not so expensive between Tromsø (or Bodø) and Oslo).

I’m planning on doing Europe next June and don’t want to fly while I’m there. I didn’t even search on RU-vid for a way to get from Tromsø to Oslo by bus or train and this video came up, for which I’m very grateful. I’m doing a festival in Oslo and then have a concert in Luxembourg the day after so I think I have no choice but to fly that leg, which is a shame.

@hallvard74 6 месяцев назад

The scenery is even more beautiful in the summer or early fall.

@avinash_gupta 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing the prices, now I know for sure that I am flying out of Germany to Tromso.

@eb382 Год назад

Good luck for the final leg. Elke

Love the "most beautiful bus ride" part. Jack, I'm planning to take bus from Narvik to Tromso, may I know where in Narvik you get the bus ticket and what app is it to buy this bus ticket? Looking forward to your respond.

@JackRoaming Год назад

Thanks! It's called Troms Billett

@Hispandinavian Год назад

That is a good price for Norway. Sweden is pretty steep too.

@paul85439 11 месяцев назад

Love your videos,thinking of doing the same route with my son next year,Oslo to Tromso.What websites are good regarding booking buses and trains? Thanks

@JackRoaming 11 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot! I booked the trains on the Norwegian Railway website. For the buses you need a different app for every region.

2:31 A Swedish train I see. I miss the time before they where forced by the EU to make everything subject to competition... 3:15 Those sleeper trains are really popular. I recommend buying a ticket months in advance, that's what we do... 5:11 That line isn't bad. But the route between Oslo and Bergen is better. Northern beauty is better seen from the sea Avoid the Flåm line, it's honestly a bit of a tourist trap... Honestly, at some point try to go to Bergen then take a boat northwards along the coast to northern Norway. Edit: Wait, you're from Luxembourg?!? Welcome! :-)

@JackRoaming Год назад

Thanks a lot! Still so much to explore in southern Norway. This trip was all about the Crossing Europe challenge. Hence why Bergen wasn't on the way.

@peterc.1618 Год назад

One Luxembourger going to northern Norway probably means that Luxembourg has a higher percentage of people who've been to northern Norway than many other European nations do. 😀 Enjoyed the video but think I'd prefer to do the trip in the summer.

@Dan-fo9dk 10 месяцев назад

Stumbled over your video. When you are travelling like that across Europe an inter-rail ticked would be much more affordable and valid all the way ....and you can do as many stops as you want within one month ... In order to buy such ticket you have to be citizen of a country which take part in that cross-European train cooperation.... The northernmost point on the last train was Fauske .....70 km before Bodø. The buses to the north has to go through Fauske ....also the one you took from Bodø .....that drove the same 70 km back to Fauske ......before taking you north to Narvik. The bus schedules are to found on internet ....but they are in Norwegian.....guess why......
