Late spring to early autumn, especially May–September, is best for comfortable temperatures and long days. Summer is great for parks and waterfront areas, while winter is cold and dark.

Petrol around Oslo currently costs roughly 2.05 EUR per litre.

Oslo has plenty of paid parking garages, but central parking is very expensive, often around NOK 40–80+ per hour. Park-and-ride is usually the better option for visitors.

Yes-Oslo has toll rings, so drivers can expect congestion-related tolls on many major routes out of the city. Norway also has additional toll roads beyond the city.

Oslo has traffic restrictions and toll/road pricing, but no classic low-emission zone that requires a special sticker for rental cars. Electric and conventional cars may be charged differently, and some central access rules can apply.

Short detours from Oslo include Drøbak, the Holmenkollen viewpoint, and the lakeside town of Son.

Oslo gets regular winter snow and icy roads. Winter tyres are expected in winter, and nearby mountain passes can be snowy, icy, or temporarily closed.

In Oslo, tram tracks and tram priority are important-don’t block tracks and yield to trams at crossings. Parking is expensive and tightly controlled, and speed cameras are widely used.

The main airport is about 47 km from central Oslo.

Late spring and summer, especially June to August, are the best times for mild weather and outdoor activities around the fjords. Spring and early autumn can also be pleasant with fewer crowds.

Petrol around Stavanger currently costs roughly 2.05 EUR per litre.

Stavanger has reasonably available central parking in garages and on-street spaces, typically around NOK 20–40 per hour. Park-and-ride is useful, but not always necessary unless you want to avoid city-center congestion.

Yes-Norway uses extensive toll roads, and routes leaving Stavanger commonly include tolled sections. There’s no city congestion charge, but tolls are common.

Stavanger does not have a citywide low-emission zone or sticker-based restriction for rental cars. Normal traffic, toll, and parking rules apply.

Worth a drive are Preikestolen, the Lysefjord viewpoints, and the white-sand beaches around Sola and Jæren.

Stavanger’s coastal climate is milder, so snow is less frequent than inland Norway, but winter rain, ice, and occasional snow are possible. Winter tyres are needed in winter, and mountain passes inland can be difficult or closed.

Stavanger has many roundabouts and narrow urban roads, so signal clearly and yield carefully. Norway’s strict speed limits and frequent automatic cameras mean it’s best to stay exactly within the limit.

The main airport is about 14 km from central Stavanger.
