Top 3 Travel Apps for Norway

This summer my kids and I embarked on a Norwegian adventure.  We flew from Minneapolis to Oslo, stopping over in Amsterdam.  We then spent about a week in Oslo, several days in the Lillehammer area, and then several days in Trondheim.  One thing I learned is that everything is done by App these days.  So, here are my top travel apps to have on your phone when in Norway.

1. The city public transportation app

Spending time in Oslo means using the Ruter app a lot!  There are two Ruter apps, actually, one is called Ruter and will help you navigate all around town.  The other is called RuterBillett, and will allow you to buy tickets.

When in Trondheim, I used the AtB app.  This app allows you to buy tickets and navigate around Trondheim in one place. Knowing when the bus is coming, which tram to take to your desired location, where the connection points are, etc. is super helpful!

2. The Yr weather app

The Yr app lets you check the weather wherever you are in Norway. It is very accurate (as much as weather predictors can be) and gives you current weather as well as predictions for the near future. Weather in Norway can vary, and it is important to know how to dress and how to be prepared for the day ahead.

3. Train / Flight apps

The kids and I took a train from Oslo to Trondheim, and then flew back on Norwegian air.  If you plan on traveling by train (which I highly recommend), then the Vy app is helpful. The Vy app will let you plan your trip and buy tickets.  If flying around Norway, Norwegian Air is great. The prices are low and the flights are usually on time and as comfortable as any other airline.

 Extra: Payment apps

Many Norwegian stores and citizens use Vipps to pay / accept payment.  If you come from a banking system that uses Vipps, then this can be helpful.  I don´t have it, so I used credit cards.

  • Hello everyone

    BEWARE OF FAKE TESTIMONIALS AND FAKE PEER-TO-PEER LOAN LISTINGS ON SITES

    I was scammed on the guestbooks. I lost a total of €3,150 by simply trusting a lender named Marie Antoinette Duval. My name is Stéphanie. Thanks to the advice of a niece who works as a financial advisor at Crédit Europe Bank, I finally received a loan of €35,000 from Ms. Aline Sanchez. This man is loyal and honest in business. Don’t get scammed again if you need credit. I’ll leave her email address here: sanalinechez@gmail.com

  • Nowadays it is difficult to find a serious loan given several scams linked to advertisements on the net but by chance I came across this man who was a very important help in obtaining a loan of 20,000 EUR I admit that at first I was reluctant to face this proposal but finally I realized that he was really serious and good-hearted. I strongly recommend you to contact him in all loan needs he can be reached at ericmasseliebert@gmail.com

  • I highly recommend Mr. Henry Vandenschrick for all your loan needs. I didn’t believe it, but with his CC SA (credit advice SA) service, I found my smile again thanks to a credit of 40,000 EUR that was granted to me to get my company out of debt. He is very professional and very attentive to your needs. henryvanderschrick@gmail.com

  • I am Frank excuse me for bothering you like this but at the moment I have a great joy in my heart that I could not keep to myself, so I decided to share with you and it is really important. I did not believe in online loan offers, out of simple curiosity I contacted Mr Henry Vandenschrick who granted me a loan of 40,000 EUR. This one is not like other lenders who post on the net. If you need a loan do not hesitate to contact him email: henryvanderschrick@gmail.com

  • You’re experiencing financial difficulties and you’re not in favor with the banks, or better yet, you have a project and you need financing, you have a bad credit history, or you need money to pay your bills, or funds to invest in businesses.

    So if you need credit, don’t hesitate to contact me to learn more about my terms. Please contact me at d.marysebiernaux@gmail.com
