Sounds too far to drive? It's just over 1,300 miles (2,200 kilometers) from Norway's capital Oslo in southern Norway. Thousands of travelers have done this North Cape driving tour and love it. It includes the best of Norway, can be done in all seasons, and leads drivers through 6 beautiful national parks!
For this driving tour from Oslo to the North Cape, you should plan 6-10 days. Your driving time depends on how many stops you want to make (or if you switch the wheel with another passenger so you can drive without breaks), which sights you want to see on the way, the weather in Scandinavia, etc.
- Starting your driving tour in Oslo in southern Norway, take Norway's E-6 highway towards Trondheim (335 mi/540 km). There, take a break from driving and enjoy a walking tour of Trondheim with all its historic sights, if you have time.
- Continue driving on the E-6 from Trondheim towards Fauske (420 mi/675 km). In the Fauske region, drive a little slower so you can enjoy the beautiful fjord scenery during your driving tour and take advantage of many photo opportunities created by nature.
- From Fauske, stay on the E-6 and drive through the historic town of Narvik to the next destination of your tour: Nordkjosbotn (270 mi/430 km). Take a breather here and relax for the night in this cute Norwegian small town.
- The last time you'll be on the E-6 highway for this driving tour, drive until you reach Olderfjord (270 mi/440 km). You will be leaving the E-6 here, and Olderfjord is a great place for one last stop before you reach the destination of your driving tour: the North Cape.
- After resting a little in Olderfjord, drive on highway E-69 towards Nordkapp (North Cape) for only another 65 miles (105 km). You've made it - you're now at the North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe!
