Oslo to Gotenburg and Copenhagen for 6 euro
Posted on: Wed July 25 23:30:11 2007 UTC

Lavprisekspressen (long distance bus routes) offers tickets between Oslo and Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen, Oslo and Kristiansand, Oslo through Gotenburg to Copenhagen from 49 NOK (which is a little over 6 euros). The offer is not time limited, but you have to book and pay online in advance, and you have to book early for a better chance on the cheapest tickets. The bus doesn't stop at stops where noone has booked tickets, so you have to book at least 2 hours prior to the departure. Prices vary depending on how early you book and how many seats are available, but the more expensive tickets are not really expensive eighter :) The busses are very modern and very comfortable double deckers. I recommend it to anybody who are looking for a cheap form of transportation from Oslo to "nearby" cities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Check out the website for schedules and reservations.

There is a drawback, the website is in Norwegian. But it is very universal in its design so I reckon most people will be able to find their way around it. I tried to put inn an extensive translation from Norwegian to English here but I wasn't allowed to use more than 2000 charaters. So I posted it as 2 comments below. Enjoy :)

Travel Between: Mon January 01, 2007 - Fri December 31, 2010
