What to know before you go
The currency
The currency is Norwegian kroner (crowns), not Euros. But credit cards are widely accepted and cash is rarely needed.
International adapters you’ll need
Regular EU adapters will do. Try and bring slim adapters for any older plugs.
When to plan your visit
When to visit Norway really depends on whether you’re a fire-and-ice sort of person, or a summer lizard. Winters bring the aurora and more winter sports, along with the need to pack plenty of layers. Visiting during the summer months allows you to experience a wider range of activities.
Do’s and don’ts of visiting Norway
Do expect and prepare for any weather, and don’t expect anything to come cheap in Norway. Meals are generally quite hearty and generous, alcoholic drinks very expensive.
Your fun Norway dinner party fact
Aquavit is literally the lifeblood of any seafaring fjord person, so make like a local and down it at least once during your visit. It will protect you against the cold, and you can make a wish before your shot.
