    Getting There

    The country's second-busiest international airport is Sandefjord Airport Torp (tel. 33-42-70-00). Some budget airlines such as Good Jet and Ryanair use this smaller airport rather than the one in Oslo. In addition to its air link, there is one daily ferry connection to Ströstad, Sweden, taking 2 1/2 hours. For schedules and information, call Color Line, Tollbugata 5 (tel. 81-00-08-11; www.colorline.no).

    From Oslo there are several express trains reaching Sandefjord in 2 hours. For information and schedules, call tel. 81-50-08-88 or visit www.nsb.no. Frequent buses also run between Oslo and Sandefjord daily, and there are also good bus connections between Tønsberg and Sandefjord. Visit www.nor-way.no for information.
