Some suggestions for your stay in Norway
When visiting Norway, make time to visit Oslo. Geiranger Fjord, for example, and Lofoten are popular destinations in Norway.
The best destination for nature lovers is Geiranger Fjord. However, Norway is rich in beautiful landscapes. Going to the Nærøyfjord can also be an incredible experience.
If you are looking for a beach holiday, you should definitely visit the beaches, such as Oslo's Paradisbukta, Nordfjord's Seljesanden and Lofoten Bunes beach.
A favourite destination for those who love snow and winter sports is Northern Norway. Norway's most popular ski resort is Hemsedal.
If you want a city getaway and nightlife, head to Oslo. In Oslo you can enjoy the country's culture, shopping, fine restaurants and nightlife to suit all tastes.
Oslo is also a popular destination for music lovers. In the city, you can enjoy a wide range of live music.
When do you need cash in Norway?
Norway accepts card payments very well, but there are certain situations where having Norwegian kroner in cash can be useful.
At some local or farmers’ markets, certain producers appreciate receiving payment in cash, even if this is not always the norm.
It is also possible that network coverage may be poor in some rural areas. In such cases, card payments can become difficult or even impossible. Having kroner in cash can therefore be practical to ensure you can pay in any situation.
Finally, exchanging your euros for NOK before your trip is a great way to maintain control over your budget by setting aside a fund exclusively for your stay. Relying entirely on card or contactless payments is therefore not the ideal solution for keeping your spending in check.
