Went to Norway recently, the taxi (one-way!) from the airport to the city (Bergen) was more than the return flight from London.

Norway as a whole is stupidly expensive
Try splitting the journey into smaller chunks. So for example... London to Doncaster. Then Doncaster to Darlington. Then Darlington to Newcastle.
I've cut fares massively doing that in the past.
Isn't Scandinavia in general? Oslo is on my bucket list but I've heard anywhere up there is madly expensive.
Yeah you've just got to live with it if you want to go there. Especially certain things e.g. alcohol. There are ways to make it cheaper, hotels tend to have a massive breakfast included in the price which will last you until dinner if you really go for it.
It is, and to be honest I wouldn't go to Oslo as my first destination or on it's own. Go to somewhere like Bergen and take the scenic train route down if you really must visit it.
There are boats that take Norwegians to Sweden for booze which is only expensive, rather than being a complete rip off.
Havent been to Norway for ages, but when we went as a family it would be by boat so we could take the car and cram it full of booze (and food).
Sweden in the last 10 years or so has become much more sensible re alcohol prices.
Re Oslo, I'd put Stockholm above it on the bucket list. Better Summers, whiter Winters, more scenic. Cheaper booze. People in Norway more fun though as a rule.
Being a Swede I'm obviously used to Swedish prices, and to me they are all sensible. High standards equal prices that reflect that and what not. But Norway is more expensive than the rest of Scandinavia on top of that. A lot of Swedish kids go to Norway and work to earn some quick money doing things like work in stores and such.
My brother was in Norway three years ago and his pizza cost him 200 Swedish bucks. A pizza. That's roughly 18 pounds for a ham and cheese pizza
Just saw on the 'Barcode's' site that the game is a sellout Spurs clash sold out However, we've still not been notified if we've got tickets or not.
Called the Spurs ticket office the other day and they said we'd be notified 'this week'. Anyone else heard anything? Its a bit late in notifying folk,with the fixture just next week.
We've got a minibus booked from Glasgow in anticipation of sorting tickets through contacts.
