How do I get there?

From LONDON:

The easiest way to get from London is to fly with Ryanair directly from London Stansted to Haugesund. (click on the link to get to their website) They fly every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and the tickets are very cheap! It might not be the best airline in the world, we know, but when it's so cheap it doesn't matter! It's worth mentioning that the prices vary a lot. At the moment they are not too bad, but they might go up and down between now and the wedding. So it's worth it to keep checking every now and then!

There are also alternatives: SAS fly to Haugesund via Oslo, their tickets are a bit more expensive. But you can also get some good prices on those flights, so again it's worth checking!
Both SAS and Norwegian fly to Stavanger and Bergen, which are both quite close to Haugesund (by Norwegian standards, anyway). Stavanger is a 2,5 hour bus journey away, which costs about £20 one way, returns are cheaper. The journey includes a ferry trip, and the landscape through which you travel is stunning! It includes both mountains and fjords, and the buses are very nice and comfortable.
Bergen is a 3 hour bus journey away, or you could take a boat that takes about 2 hours. The bus costs app. £30 one way. Returns are a lot cheaper. This journey also includes a ferry trip, and the landscape is amazingly beautiful!

Bergen and Stavanger are beautiful cities, and if you're thinking about taking a little holiday before or after the wedding, both of them are absolutely worth visiting! They are also in close proximity to other tourist attractions like The Pulpit Rock or the Geiranger Fjord.

You can find out more about Bergen here, and more about Stavanger here.

If you prefer staying in Haugesund, where the wedding is, you can find out more about the region here. Haugesund and the region around is also a very beautiful part of Norway, and worth seeing more of!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us!
