Text: Published 09.01.2024

The Norwegian exchange rate is still historically low – so you can once again get great holiday experiences at small prices! Read our 5 top tips for an incredible Norwegian adventure.

Dreaming of amazing nature experiences, time with your loved ones and fascinating cultural experiences – without your travel budget going through the roof? Set course for Norway – where the historically low exchange rate lets you get extra-large holiday experiences for your 2024 holiday budget.

Follow these 5 tips to make the most of your vacation in Norway.

1. Affordable accommodation

If you are bringing your tent, caravan or motorhome along to Norway, you can actually spend the nights at no cost at all during your vacation. This is due to the Norwegian ’Everyman’s right’ that lets everyone spend the night everywhere in nature, as long as you get no closer than 150 metres to the nearest housing.

2. Explore Norway on foot or bike

Norway offers an abundance of amazing – and free – experiences in some of Europe’s most beautiful scenery.All the Norwegian national parks offer free admission to let you explore hundreds of kilometres of hiking and biking routes of varying difficulties.

In most places, you will easily find both short and long, easy and strenuous routes starting at parking lots and viewing points, no matter whether you wish to explore the high mountains, stroll along rushing rivers or enjoy the quiet among the enormous trees of the Norwegian forests.

If you travel with teenage kids, a budget-friendly vacation without amusement parks or fun fairs may seem a challenge – but we guarantee that a trip along one of the Norwegian Scenic Routes can make even the most screen-addicted teenager look up from their iPhone.

4. Lots of free cultural and historical experiences

It is easy to fill a vacation in Norway with incredible experiences without having to pay a fortune in entrance fees. Many of Norway’s larger cities have charming historical districts or idyllic parks that tempt you to take a relaxing stroll or have a nice picnic, and often you can experience major cultural events such as outdoor art installations, interesting museums or lively music festivals free of charge.

5. Food budget for any wallet

Often you hear people say things like ’everything is so expensive in Norway’ or ’remember to bring food from home so the food budget doesn’t ruin you during your vacation’ – and sure, some types of food are relatively expensive in Norway. But just like in any other European country, Norway has a wide selection of supermarkets and eateries to choose from – so you will always be able to find a price level and selection that suits you.

And if you are bringing a portable fridge along on your vacation, it is easy to buy in bulk and eat your major meals ’on the go’ instead of at cafés and restaurants.
