About 1,100 miles long, the fjords give Norway over 12,000 miles of coastline and some of the most magnificent scenery in the world. At North Cape, the extreme northern point of Europe, the sun stays above the horizon from May 14 thru August 1. You may need this extra daylight time to see all you wish.
Norwegian trains are clean and comfortable, with most routes being scenically attractive.
Some local trains carry only 2nd class service, but of a very high standard. If your travel is limited to Norway's exceptional railway system and budget is a factor in your travel planning, we suggest you consider buying a 2nd class pass, and if desired pay the local surcharge to upgrade to 1st class on routes that may have 1st class available.
