How to Travel from Stockholm to Oslo by Train, Bus, Car, and Plane

Whether you're enjoying the midnight sun of Nordic summer nights or chasing the aurora borealis in the dead of winter, a trip through Scandinavia isn't complete without visiting the Swedish and Norwegian capitals, Stockholm and Oslo. While both cities share cultural and linguistic roots, each also has its own unique personality. You'll have to explore them both to see what Stockholm and Oslo truly have to offer.

The fastest way to get from one to the other is by plane, which is a quick one-hour flight that's generally inexpensive. Flying, however, means missing out on all of the mind-blowing scenery between them. Taking the train, a bus, or driving your own car are the only ways to experience the endless woodland, beautiful lakes, and charming Swedish villages that dot the landscape. The train is potentially the cheapest way to travel to Oslo, but you'll need to book tickets early.

How to Get from Stockholm to Oslo

• Train: 6 hours, from $20
• Flight: 1 hour, from $45
• Bus: 7 hours, 30 minutes, from $28
• Car: 6 hours, 325 miles (522 kilometers)

High-speed trains started running between Stockholm and Oslo in 2015, completing the long journey in a swift four and a half hours. However, rail modernization projects have put the high-speed trains on a halt until at least the end of 2021. You can still take a direct train from Stockholm to Oslo in the meantime, but it now takes six hours.

Tickets are purchased on Sweden's national rail service, SJ , and prices start at $20 if you book far enough in advance. Unfortunately, they rapidly rise in price as your travel date gets closer, and last-minute tickets can set you back up to $75. Tickets tend to be cheaper on weekdays, so if you're flexible on your travel dates, look around for the days and times with the cheapest rates.

If you plan to continue traveling by train—perhaps to Copenhagen or other Northern European destinations—it may be worth getting the Eurail Pass, allowing you to travel a set number of days on trains across the continent.

You can get from Stockholm to Oslo with a quick and direct one-hour flight. These flights depart several times daily, most offered by SAS and Norwegian . Even when you take into account the time it takes to get to and from the airport, go through security, and wait at your gate, flying is still significantly faster than any of the other methods of transportation. It can also be one of the most affordable, with last-minute tickets being even cheaper than the train.

Pay close attention to the fine print of your flight details before booking, as the cheapest tickets usually come from low-cost airlines with strict rules and few amenities. Some airlines charge extra even for flying with a carry-on bag, so add up all of your costs and fees before making your purchase.

The most budget-friendly option is the bus, especially if you're making last-minute plans. The trip from Stockholm to Oslo is direct through FlixBus , but the ride is an arduous seven and a half hours. You can choose a morning or early afternoon bus that gets you to Oslo in the evening, which lets you enjoy the roadside scenery by daylight but forces you to lose an entire day of your trip seated on a bus. The other option is an overnight bus, but it arrives in Oslo at 5:45 a.m., potentially leaving you stranded outside while you wait for the city to wake up.

Tickets for the bus start at $28, which is often not much cheaper than the train or a flight if you're buying in advance. However, it's not uncommon to find even same-day bus tickets for $28—assuming it isn't a holiday weekend or other high-demand time—when train and plane prices have already skyrocketed.

If you're traveling with a group and can split the cost of car rental and gas, then driving to Oslo is not only an affordable option but also the most liberating, giving you the freedom to explore the Swedish countryside as you please. The total trip takes about six hours if you drive without stopping, but if you don't plan to stop you might as well take the bus. Make a road trip out of your drive and visit some of the towns along the route, such as Karlstad, which is about halfway between the two cities and sits on the shore of Lake Vänern, the largest lake in the entire European Union.

Norway uses a toll system on its highways that automatically charges the driver based on the license plate, and there are no manned booths to pay in cash. If you're renting a car in Norway, the rental company will normally take care of it and add the tolls to your final bill. But if you're renting a car in Sweden and driving to Norway, you'll need to register the vehicle with Euro Parking Collection .

It's also important to know that rental companies will often charge a hefty fee if you drop off a car in a different country from where you picked it up, so keep that in mind if you aren't planning to return to Stockholm.

What to See in Oslo

Oslo is Norway's capital and largest city, and the best way to get a sense of the city is to take a  guided tour of the main sites , especially if you're there for a short amount of time and need to fit in as many landmarks as you possibly can. Highlights of Oslo include Viking ships that you can board, the massive Vigeland Park, and a museum dedicated to Edvard Munch with his famous "The Scream" painting. What people love most about Oslo, however, is found just outside the city limits. If you have the time, get out of the city and explore Norway's natural beauty, whether you go on a hike, take a boat ride through the fjords, or head out farther toward the glaciers. You won't find landscapes like these anywhere else.

Border Control

Sweden and Norway are both members of the Schengen Zone, meaning that even though you are crossing an international border, you should be able to travel between them without any type of border control. You'll still need your passport to purchase transportation tickets or rent a car, but when you're crossing into Norway, there shouldn't be any long lines or agents checking ID. Sweden isn't quite as lax as its neighbor, and you'll likely be asked to show your passport if crossing the border into Sweden.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a little over six hours to drive from Stockholm to Oslo, not including stops.

Tickets booked far enough in advance can be as low as $20. The closer to your trip date you buy them, the more expensive they are, with last-minute tickets costing $75.

The flight is only one hour, with several flights departing each day.

Day 1 - Oslo, Norway NORDIC DELIGHTS

Welcome, you've made it to your first stop in Scandinavia!  After you land in Oslo, head to our hotel in the center of town to drop off your bags and unwind before our Welcome Drinks.

We'll raise a toast with your new friends and then head to our first dinner together at a restaurant that classifies as Italian with a Nordic twist. 

Tomorrow will be an early one, so we left the night for you to choose your first adventure. Grab some casual drinks at a nearby rooftop or head back to the hotel to kick that jet lag. ​ ​

Day 2 - Oslo, Norway TAKE THE PLUNGE

Today, we’re headed out on a city tour and market tasting across the capital city. You'll have a chance to see the Royal Palace, the waterfront Opera House, the medieval Akershus Fortress and everything in between.

Along the way, you'll stop at various spots to savor some of the city's best culinary delights, including Norwegian waffles, cheeses, and hot chocolate before heading to the harbor to experience your first floating sauna. ​

Saunas are a staple of Nordic culture. We recommend alternating between the hot sauna and plunging into refreshing cold water to achieve a heightened sense of well-being.

Day 3 - Oslo to Stockholm SWEDISH SOIRÉE

We'll say goodbye to Norway and board an early morning train to our next destination. Stockholm, we're coming for you! ​  We’ll get into the Swedish capital by mid-afternoon where we'll have a bit of free time before our cocktail making class.

During free time, we recommend exploring the ultra-hip Södermalm neighborhood which is home to an endless array of quirky shops, cool cafes, and trendy bars.

Then, you'll have a chance to play bartender and take your first Swedish "hot shot". Swedes love a good party so make sure to grab some dinner before we head out to experience Stockholm's nightlife firsthand with the crew.

Day 4 - Stockholm, Sweden city of islands

We've got a big day ahead of us, so toss on those walking shoes; we're starting our day on the cobbled streets of Gamla Stan.

These medieval nooks and crannies are as cute as they come in Europe and are filled with history—some date to the 13th century. We'll grab a mid-morning Fika (Swedish coffee and snacks) with friends and then cruise over to one of Europe's best museums to check out the world's only intact 17th-century gunship.

Kick back and relax in the afternoon or keep on exploring before we all meet up for a fantastic group dinner.

Day 5 - Stockholm, Sweden Waterfront Chillin’

The morning is free, but we recommend having breakfast like a local along the harbor and then strolling the waterfront to check out the view.

Meet up with the rest of the crew in the middle of the day; we’re heading out on a cruise to get a whole new perspective on the 14 islands that make up this friendly capital.

We’ll grab lunch together, and then the day is yours. If you’re up for it, grab a scooter and ride over to the ever so hip Södermalm to wander the streets of Stockholm’s answer to Brooklyn. Try to find dinner at one of the neighborhood’s chic spots before you hit the bars one last time in Sweden.

Day 6 - Stockholm, Copenhagen Down to denmark

We've got one more scenic Scandinavian ride in store for you today; we're hopping the train to Copenhagen. We'll get to our hotel in the afternoon, and then it's off for a sip of suds to welcome us to town.

We're checking out one of the best breweries this colorful capital has to offer before dinner, so grab a few pints if you like. From there, we're heading to Tivoli Gardens, the oldest operating amusement park in the world and supposedly Walt Disney's inspiration for Disneyland.

After some roller coaster madness, grab a bite with the crew and then see where the night takes you.

Day 7 - Copenhagen, Denmark Bike like a dane

Wake up early for a full day of exploring on two wheels with a Danish guide to check out the city like only a local would.

On our tour of these neoclassical streets, you’ll learn about the remarkable history of the nation and this city which grew from humble beginnings as a traditional Viking village in the 12th century.

After poking around in the past and an introduction to the social progress of the present, head out and explore with friends on your own. The city’s harbor, parks, and palaces are easy to get around and a blast to explore. That night, we’ll all grab drinks and one final dinner together to celebrate an awesome week.

Day 8 - Copenhagen, Denmark Farvel!

And just like that you twisted through Scandinavia and three of the most iconic cities in Europe. Grab a final breakfast with friends before you head off.

If you’ve got some more time, well then we’re jealous. Keep on trekking and discovering all this special place has to offer.

Got a few more days to spare on the way home? Check out some unreal mountain views in Iceland with the FTLO crew. We’ll see you next time!

ABout scandinavia

​As a region, Scandinavia offers a winning combination of delicious food, cool locals, intriguing architecture, progressive thought, phenomenal shopping, and modern design.

Located in in northern Europe, Scandinavia is traditionally made up of Norw ay, Denmark and Sweden, all three of which consistently rank as the happiest countries in the world, with Denmark currently being number one. According to National Geographic, this is in thanks to "an abundance of free public services, such as health care and education" as well as a strong sense of community.

On European trips, we stay as close to historic city centers as possible. This means your accommodations will often be on the small side, quirky, and unique (we love this!).

Credit/debit cards are widely accepted in Scandinavia - in fact, some establishments will not accept cash and travelers can often get away with exclusively using a card in these countries. Just make sure that your card does not charge any foreign transaction fees as these can really add up!

​ If you are not comfortable biking, an alternative option can be arranged for an additional fee (costs vary).
