Driving in Alta might be a bit different from what you're used to in the UK. Unlike the UK, you will be driving on the right side of the road and the driver's seat is on the left side of the car. Hence, when turning at intersections, your instinct might need some adjustment. Be cautious and take some time to familiarize yourself with these differences.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

The general speed limit outside built-up areas is 80 km/h (approx. 50 mph) and is often reduced to 50km/h (approx 31 mph) or lower within populated areas. Unlike in the UK, overtaking on the right is generally not allowed unless on motorways or dual carriageways.

Car Class Recommendations

The roads in Alta are well-maintained, for the most part. However, due to the weather conditions in winter, it is highly recommended to choose a car with four-wheel drive. Furthermore, switch to winter tyres between November 1 and April 15, as it is a legal requirement in Norway during this period.

Attractions and Routes

With Alta's beautiful sights and attractions, you'll want to keep your camera close by. Here are some must-visit spots:

  • The Northern Lights Cathedral: This beautiful, spiral-shaped church is an architectural delight.
  • The Alta Museum: Located on the site of prehistoric rock carvings, this is the perfect place to learn about Norway's vibrant history.
  • The Alta Canyon: Known to be the largest canyon in Northern Europe, it offers breathtaking views.

A popular driving route is the journey from Alta to the North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe. The stunning landscapes offered during this journey are an experience unlike any other.

Currency and Climate

The local currency in Alta is the Norwegian krone (NOK). While credit and debit cards are accepted in most places, it's always handy to have some local currency. The climate in Alta is chilly, especially during the winter when temperatures can drop as low as -16°C. So pack appropriately and prepare for some snowy adventure!

Alta is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Don't wait, plan your trip and encounter the great wonders of Northern Norway from the comfort of your rental car.
