How to get to
Trondheim
|
Situated in central Norway, Trondheim is easily
accessible whatever your choice of transportation. By plane you will land at
Trondheim’s modern airport at Vaernes (32 km from the city). If you come by
train you can relax and look at the unique Norwegian countryside. If you are
coming from the south of Norway you can drive through the majestic Dovre
mountains. Another special way to visit Trondheim is by the
coastal express which will give you a chance to experience Norway’s special
and beautiful coast.
From Trondheim you can also take a trip along some of our beautiful coastal
areas. You can go by ferry or catamaran to the Fosen Peninsula, visit the
islands of Hitra and Froya or the city of Kristiansund, some 200 km
south-west of Trondheim.

Passports and Visas::
It is highly advisable that you check with the
Norwegian embassy in your country to find out the exact entry requirements
for Norway.
All foreign nationals from countries outside the
Schengen area (see
also below) who wish to enter Norway must have a valid passport. Nationals
of countries within the Schengen area must have a valid passport or other
identity document which is officially recognized as a valid travel document.
Only Nordic nationals travelling in the Nordic countries are exepted from
this passport requirement.
Foreign nationals from a number of countries outside the Schengen area who
intend to visit more than one Schengen country but to spend the longest time
in Norway, or for whom Norway is the first country they will enter in the
Schengen area, must have visa affixed to their passport by a Norwegian
foreign service mission or where appropriate the foreign service mission of
another Schengen country representing Norway. Everyone requiring a visa must
present a passport. It should be noted that Norway may only be entered at an
authorized border crossing point within the Schengen area where passport
control is carried out.
In 2001, Norway became part of the Schengen area. The Schengen area includes
the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain
and Sweden. Participation in the Schengen cooperation has an impact on
applications for visas. Generally speaking, a visa for one of the countries
in the Schengen area is valid for a stay in all the other Schengen countries
during the period for which the visa is valid. Over a period of six months,
you are not permitted to spend more than a total of three months in the
Schengen area. Unless otherwise provided, all foreign nationals must have a
visa to enter Norway.
