Norway is part of the Schengen Area, so citizens from many countries do not need a visa. No visa is required for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, check the current requirements for your country of origin on the official website to ensure compliance with the regulations.
Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) is the best airport for international arrivals and offers numerous connections to various destinations in Norway. From here, you can easily start motorcycle tours, whether to Bergen, Trondheim, or the Lofoten. There are good public transport connections to the city center and car rental options to begin your journey.
The official currency in Norway is the Norwegian Krone (NOK). Credit cards are widely used and accepted almost everywhere, so you may not need much cash. It is advisable to carry a small amount of cash for small purchases or in rural areas. ATMs are easily found in cities and tourist areas.
No specific vaccinations are required for travel to Norway, but you should have your standard vaccinations updated, including tetanus and diphtheria. It is advisable to obtain travel insurance that covers medical care and possible repatriation. Inform yourself about local health guidelines before your trip.
A valid driver's license from your home country is sufficient to ride a motorcycle in Norway. EU driver’s licenses are accepted. If your driver's license is not written in Latin letters, it is recommended to have an international driver's license. Make sure to adhere to specific vehicle and driving regulations to avoid issues.
SIM cards are easy to obtain in Norway, especially in larger cities. Providers like Telenor and Telia offer prepaid options. You can buy SIM cards in stores like supermarkets, electronics stores, and at the airport. Don’t forget to bring your ID. This way, you stay well-connected during your motorcycle tour!
