My friends and I are (roughly) doing this route beginning on the 14th!!! I really can’t wait! Already have a plan for things to do but any suggestions are still welcome 🙂

  1. How many days have you planned to spend on this trip? Seems like a lot of driving.

  2. Between F and G you would be much better off driving ~~Riksvei~~ Fylkesvei 17 “Kystriksveien” along the coast if time allows. Pay attention to ferry schedules especially in the morning on weekends.

    I would also consider driving over Andøya (choose the westernmost route) and then take the ferry to Senja.

    If you just want to drive from Oslo to Stavanger without stopping anywhere in particular along the coast, consider E39 and Suleskardveien. It opened last week. E18 is boring from Oslo until you get to just south of Jæren. If you’re doing E18, turn off in Flekkefjord and drive Fv44 along the coast, it’s great.

    How long will this trip be?

  3. After renting a car and driving for 2 days in Norway, this picture has triggered me lol. Its a lovely drive if you are a relaxed and passive driver, much unlike myself.

  4. I traveled from Kirkenes to the south twice, amazing adventure ☺️ have a nice trip!

  5. It’s a beautiful drive. However, if you are renting a car in Oslo and returning in Tromso, the fee would be super high!

    That’s why I did a loop in the west, and flew to Tromso. i returned the car where I picked it. Saves a lot!

    P.S. I can’t see clearly if your trip includes Senja. But DO NOT miss it. It’s the most beautiful drive, with the most beautiful landscape.

  6. Just the tip I usually give: the main road between Oslo and Stavanger is quite boring. You may consider road 44 from Flekkefjord to Stavanger. A lot more scenic and definitely less boring.

    There is also a better alternative over the mountains/inland.

  7. While seeing lofoten i also recommend vesterålen, espevially bø with good hiking mountains and pearly white beaches! 😍
