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.

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.
