Norwegian Train Journey Among Best in Europe

The night train from Trondheim to Bodo has been voted among the 8 most beautiful train journeys in Europe by Lonely Planet.

They list two main reasons for why this stretch of rail, which crawls its way north through the fjords and mountains, is on the list.

“Firstly if you do this journey during the summer you needn’t miss anything – the sun will hardly set. Secondly Norwegian trains are very pleasant places to hang out for a while, and a berth on a night train is an excellent deal in a country where bargains aren’t always obvious.” (Lonely Planet 2009)

In fact, if you book early enough it can cost you as little as 199NOK (approximately £20) – not a bad price for a nine and a half hour´s journey.
