 INTRODUCTION
From
its sunny coastline to inland mountain plateaus, pine forests
and spectacular fjords, it's no wonder that Southern Norway is
the Norwegians choice for a holiday destination.
With summer temperatures often reaching the 80's
newcomers are suprised at how different this region can be from
their expectations. It isn't just about snow and mountains (though
you can still find them in abundance - it is Norway after all!);
there are sandy beaches, quiet country walks, family entertainment,
exciting adventures - Southern Norway has something for everyone.
Getting Here
Most visitors arriving by air
will fly into Oslo Torp airport. Although named Oslo it is a two hour coach ride from the capital but much handier for Southern Norway and Telemark (around one hour). It is also the east coast base for Ryanair, the low cost airline which currently flys in from London Stansted, Liverpool and Glasgow as well as Marseille, Milan and Pisa.
If you are bringing your car, Kristiansand
has regular ferry services linking to and from Gothenburg and Newcastle. If you are touring Europe you might consider the short ferry hop from the north of Denmark into Larvik, a popular route with Norwegian holidaymakers.

Norway has to offer together with some great holiday ideas by
