Oslo is the main entry point, with Gardermoen Airport 50 km north of the city and ferries arriving at Oslo, Larvik and Kristiansand. The E6 (north–south) and E18 (west–east) are the two main highways that start from the capital and lead to fjord country, the Arctic and Sweden. Remember that Norway's "allemannsretten" right-to-roam law applies mainly to tents. Motorised camping must follow roadside parking rules or use private campsites.
