elin Posted October 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hello, I will be sailing from London to Stockholm on the Regatta, Aug. 17, 2005. At the end of the trip, we thought we might spend an extra day in Stockholm, and then spend some time in Oslo. Has anyone taken the train from Stockholm to Oslo? The high speed version does the trip in just under 5 hours. The flight is about 1 hour (and about $200 Canadian per person more then the train). The cost is not that much of an issue. If the train ride is something wonderfully scenic, it might be fun to do. However if it is dull and boring, the flight would definitely make more sense. Anyone out there done either? What would you recommend? Also what suggestions do people have for both Stockholm and Oslo (I've heard that the "Norway in a Nutshell" is really great). Thanks.

Sad to say, Reuters reports that the Stockolm-Oslo train is being taken out of service because most people fly between the two cities these days: http://www.iht.com/articles/538852.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
