Norway Travel Budget Guide
Planning Your Norway Budget
Norway is consistently ranked the most expensive country in Europe, and often the world. Oil wealth means high wages and correspondingly high prices. But the stunning fjords, northern lights, and midnight sun are experiences you can’t get elsewhere - and nature access is completely free thanks to allemannsretten.
Regional Price Differences
- Oslo: Capital city prices. Most expensive for accommodation and dining.
- Bergen: Gateway to fjords. Tourist prices but great food scene.
- Tromsø: Northern lights capital. Expensive but worth it for aurora.
- Lofoten: Remote islands with premium prices but incredible beauty.
- Stavanger: Oil city with high prices but access to Pulpit Rock.
- Fjord Norway: Tourism prices along popular fjord routes.
Money-Saving Tips for Norway
- Self-cater - Supermarket meals for 80-120 NOK vs 300+ at restaurants. Essential for budget travel.
- Use allemannsretten - Right to roam means free camping, hiking, and fishing anywhere.
- Book minipris train tickets - Vy tickets are 50-70% cheaper when booked 2-3 months ahead.
- Bring a water bottle - Norwegian tap water is excellent and free everywhere.
- Take public ferries - Hurtigruten deck passages are cheaper than cabins and equally scenic.
