Travel to Spain

I had this opportunity to visit Norway while I was working in Norway. I would like to share my experiences and some tips that can be helpful to anyone planning to go to Spain.
When I talk of any tour, the first thing that comes to anyone's mind will be the expenses that will occur for such a trip. However, If you are in Europe and planning to visit any other country within European Union and also want to save your traveling time, the best option is always to book cheap air tickets in advance. You may find many such cheap airlines operating, but I always preferred traveling on RYAN AIR mainly for the following reasons:
1. Time bounded service
2. Cheaper if you plan and book tickets earlier
3. Pretty comfortable journey
4. Connectivity to many important cities

So, if you can plan and book tickets on any such cheaper flights, your major traveling costs are reduced.

BARCELONA:





Next, on reaching any city like Barcelona, the immediate thing that you will be willing to do is to find an hotel where you could dump your luggages. I was able to find a cheaper alternative for this one too. I found this so called Hostels which provided me with bed and also breakfast in the morning time. Though you need to share your room with many other people, definitely I feel this is can give you an opportunity for getting to know new people. I found a similar hostel in La Rambla in Barcelona called The Sun and Moon Hostel. It cost me 60 Euros per night (including the breakfast next morning), while any other 2 star hotel too could have cost me atleast 100 Euros per night.

The next thing to look around this city is to use the public transport of that city. The best opportunity according to me using it is to get 1/2/3 days pass. Then, you will have this advantages of using any of the following means of transport:
1. Tram
2. Buses
3.Metros
4. Short Travel Trains

Travel to Norway

I had this opportunity to travel to Norway from India and work there for sometime.
I would like to share my experiences during my travel, during my stay and other general matters that would be of interest to anyone who is traveling to this place or to anyone who wants to know more about this place.
Let me first start of with the currency. Norway has its own currency and doesn't use the standard European currency Euros which is commonly used in any other place. The currency here is called Norwegian Kroner (NOKS).
Typically, 1 NOK = Rs. 7.50 or 1 USD = 5 NOKS. Make sure that you are carrying enough local Norwegian currency while entering Norway as this is the only currency that is valid here. However, it is still possible to use your Master/VISA credit cards in almost all shops or restaurants here in Norway.




The best time to visit this place is during winter, that is sometime in between November and March. This is the best time to be in Norway and enjoy the snowfall and if you are someone who is very much interested in outdoor sports and loves trying out something new, then you got to be here at this time to try out skiing.
Well, there might be many skiing places in Norway, but I had an opportunity to visit this one place called Gautefalls. Its about 2 hours journey from Arendal (a place where I lived) and was the closest one for me. This place is located in south-west Telemark and is opened for skiing for around 2-3 months in an year depending on the weather. But if you are lucky enough, it might even be opened for longer duration too. This is one place thats worth visiting when you are in south of Norway.
