Travel guides:

General Info:

Entry Regulations: Norway is part of the Schengen Agreement, so travelers from Schengen countries do not need a visa for short stays. Travelers coming from outside of Schengen should check the entry requirements based on nationality.

Currency and Payment: Norway's currency is called Norwegian Krone (NOK). Cards are widely accepted. Many places don't take cash, so it is rarely used.

Language: The official language is Norwegian, but English is widely spoken.

Prices: Norway is expensive, so eating out might be very pricey. Same for alcohol. Consider taking the lunch offers at restaurants.

Alcohol: Alcohol is state-controlled and any form of it above 4,7% cannot be bought in a regular store. For that, a visit to Vinmonopolet is needed. In addition, beer in supermarkets cannot be bought at all times the supermarket is open. Make sure to check the opening hours for your closest ones.

Weather: Norway has four distinct seasons and sometimes the weather can be unpredictable. Always dress appropriately and keep warm. If needed, dress in layers.

Wind: It might be windy, so make sure to hold the car doors when you exit.
