223.0. "Copenhagen to Oslo easily?" by DIEHRD::MAHLER () Tue Jul 07 1987 15:28

    IN relation to my other note about Copenhagen, can someone
    tell me how I would get from Copenhagen to Oslo, Norway
    and what the shortest method is other than air travel?


    Thanx in advance...

Train is the simplest.  I think you can leave Copenhagen in the morning
and arrive in Oslo by dinnertime.  I think you can take an overnight
train, too.

You can also drive.  Probably an 8 hour trip.

    You should take the boat from Copenhagen to Oslo. It leaves at 5
    p.m. and arrives in Oslo at 9 a.m.
    
    It is a very pleasant trip and if you are awake at aroun 5 a.m.
    you'll see the Oslo Fjord which is very beautiful.
    
    There is a decent restaurant, a cople of bars and a night club or
    disko - and it's tax free prices.
                                 
    It's cheaper than flying and around the same as by train.

    According to the French National Train Information center
    in New York [212 582-2110], the train leaves from Copenhagen
    and is direct to Oslo but with stops and no transfering necessary.

    Cost:
	 $84 First Class
	 $55 Second Class  with no discount for Round Trip purchase.

    It is a 10 hour ride.

    How does this costs compare with the ferry?
