Traveling within city<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Like many other cities in the world, Norway’s cities have their own public transportations, which roam around inside its city zones. Take Oslo, for example, which has a mobile app called Ruter<\/a> for you to travel inside the capital city. Using this mobile app, you only need to spend NOK 108 to buy a daily pass or NOK 285 for a weekly pass for wandering around the city by bus, tram, and metro. In fact, Oslo is the only city in Norway that has a metro system. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEach city in Norway has its own mobile app or website to purchase tickets for public transportation. Bergen has Skyss<\/a>, Stavanger has Kolumbus<\/a>, and Trondheim has AtB<\/a>. <\/strong>Every city has different ticket prices for public transportation, so it is suggested that you check them directly to find the updated price for the tickets. Another thing that you need to notice is that each city has its own zone for traveling within the city, so you need to check if your destinations are included in specific zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLong-distance transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Norway is a vast country, ranging from the up north in the north pole to the south, which is “warmer.” Each area has its own uniqueness. For example, you can see fjords in the western parts of the country, northern lights<\/a> in the north, or modern cities in the south like Oslo. Therefore, there are a lot of areas that you need to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are planning to go from one city to another in Norway, there are many options you can choose from, ranging from bus to airplane. Also, we recommend you book the seats in advance since the price will be much lower that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bus: <\/strong>Buses are considerably a cheaper option to travel within the country, although it may take a longer time for a long-distance trip. To illustrate, a one-way journey from Oslo to Stavanger will take around eight hours and cost you NOK 450. Another example is also a one-way journey from Oslo to Stavanger will cost you NOK 600 and take nine hours journey. The most common bus companies that provide people to travel between cities in Norway are Vy Buss<\/a>, Nor-Way Bussekspress<\/a>, and Flixbus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTrain: <\/strong>Do you know that train is a favorable transportation mode to explore Norway? Although the cost is higher than the bus, traveling by train will give you an unforgettable experience. Scenic views of Norway’s nature are incredible. The Bergen Line, The Fl\u00e5m Line, and The Dovre Line are a few train routes in Norway. You need to spend about NOK 800 for a seven-hour one-way journey from Oslo to Trondheim or NOK 290 for a six-and-a-half-hour one-way trip from Oslo to Bergen. You can purchase the tickets from Vy.no<\/a> or Eurail Scandinavian pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAirplane: <\/strong>The airplane is probably the most effective way to travel domestically in Norway since it takes less traveling time than a bus or train. Sometimes the prices are lower than the other methods, and the costs can vary depending on the routes. However, you can find the lowest price for a one-way journey, as little as NOK 500. The main domestic airline that flies over the country is Norwegian Airlines<\/a>. Besides, you can also travel by using SAS Airlines<\/a> on specific major routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCar rental: <\/strong>If traveling in a group, renting a car is possibly cheaper. If you choose to travel this way, you need to pay around NOK 400 per day, and the gas for approximately NOK 54 per gallon. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAccommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Accommodation](\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-42.png\")

You can book the rooms on Booking.com. In addition, you can also book a place to stay on Airbnb and experience how unique Airbnb<\/a> is in Norway since there are a lot of rooms to stay in.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother tip for traveling in Norway on a budget for accommodation is to stay at a camping spot. Some camping places are free, and some others are paid but at an affordable price. The prices also vary depending on your desired facilities, such as access to showers or toilets and electricity. The price is usually around NOK 200 to NOK 250 per night. You can also search for wild camping spots in Norway through Campercontact<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe last tip to save your accommodation budget in Norway is to take a night train or a night bus for long-distance travel. Doing so means you do not need to spare your budget for accommodation since you will spend your nights on the train or bus. Also, the night trains or buses are usually cheaper than the day ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Food](\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-45.png\")

However, it is much cheaper to buy food from street stalls or fast food restaurants like McDonald where you can spend NOK 45 to NOK 150 for a meal. Even for alcohol, the price of a beer at a bar will take your NOK 90 away. Therefore, being sober while traveling in Norway on a budget is suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cheapest way to allocate a budget for food in Norway is to buy groceries and cook yourself. That way, you can save a lot of money. This method will be helpful if you stay at an accommodation which provides a kitchen. Also, if you are traveling with friends or family, you can split the groceries bills, making it even cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
