Notes:
Midnight Sun Effects: Expect almost 24 hours of daylight in northern Norway, which can affect sleep if you’re not used to it. Bring an eye mask.
Weather Changes Fast: Even in summer, temperatures can drop, and rain is common. Pack layers and waterproof gear.
Tap Water is the Best: Norwegian tap water is clean and fresh. Bring a reusable bottle and skip buying bottled water.
Card Payments Everywhere: Norway is nearly cashless. A credit or debit card is accepted almost everywhere, even for small purchases.
Driving Takes Longer: Scenic routes have speed limits as low as 60 km/h, and ferries may add extra time. Plan for slower travel.
Right to Roam: You can camp almost anywhere in nature for free, as long as you respect the environment and stay away from private property.
Food is Expensive: Eating out can be pricey, so consider grocery stores like Rema 1000 or Kiwi for budget-friendly meals.
Wildlife is Present: Moose, reindeer, and sheep often wander near roads. Drive carefully, especially in rural areas.
Public Transport is Reliable: Trains, ferries, and buses are well-connected, but rental cars give more flexibility for remote areas.
Fjord Cruises Sell Out: Popular fjord tours, like in Geiranger and Nærøyfjord, should be booked in advance, especially in peak season.
