Is there free Wi-Fi in Norwegian cities?
Trains, airports and libraries, with network names and limits.
Short answer
Free Wi-Fi in Norwegian cities is easiest to find on Vy regional trains, at Avinor airports and in public libraries such as Deichman Bjørvika in Oslo. On Vy trains you connect to Vy-wifi or NSB_Interaktiv without registering, and Avinor airports give four hours free. Deichman Bjørvika also has free computers.
Why
- Vy says it offers free wireless internet on board its regional services and most local services.
- Avinor says you get free access for four hours on the AIRPORT network at its airports.
- Deichman's visitor guide to its Bjørvika library says there is free wireless internet and free access to computers and workshop tools.
Details
Some older Vy trains have no internet, for example on the Bergen Line and on local services between Ski and Oslo S, and coverage on board can drop in tunnels and deep valleys. At Avinor airports you choose 'Gratis' on the start page and log in again after four hours, or pay for more time and a higher speed.
Tip
Download maps, tickets and anything you want to watch before a train trip, as Vy itself suggests, because the onboard connection can be unstable.
What may differ
Visitors with an EU or EEA SIM card pay home prices for mobile data in Norway, so they can rely on mobile data where there is no Wi-Fi.
