How to save money in Norway

An informed tourist probably already knows how expensive the country of Norway is. This applies to transport, food, clothing and accommodation, as well as much more.
While for Norwegians their prices do not seem so high, since income levels in Norway are far from low (although we should not forget that many Norwegians often travel to neighboring Sweden for shopping), the cost of goods and services comes as an unpleasant shock for tourists.
Buying Norwegian currency also does not have a positive effect on a tourist’s budget. The Norwegian currency is one of the most expensive on the foreign exchange market, and to buy, for example, a thousand Norwegian kroner, which, in fact, is not that much money, you will have to pay a considerable amount.
However, even in such an expensive country as Norway, you can save money by knowing how the Norwegian service works.

Currency

In Norway, it is most profitable to pay with a credit card, because thanks to automatic currency conversion, you will not lose money due to exchange rate fluctuations. They are accepted at almost every turn, however, for example, at the fish market in Bergen, or when buying a basket of strawberries from street vendors, you will not be able to pay with a credit card. In this case, you can withdraw money from an ATM with a commission or pay with the cash you already have, which is more profitable to purchase in Russia. You can exchange rubles for kroner in Norway, but not everywhere, so tourists often lose money by first exchanging rubles for euros or dollars, and only then exchanging them for kroner.

Transport

Norwegian transport is very expensive, however, and here you can find ways to save money. Don’t forget that Norwegians widely use the system of benefits and discounts on different types of transport; you just have to take a closer look at the website of the transport organization before booking a ticket. For example, on the Norwegian Railways website (www.nsb.no) you can purchase tickets at a special price of only 199 or 299 kroner. A standard ticket from Oslo to Bergen will cost you 788 kroner. But if you buy a ticket as early as possible and are not sure that you will not have to return it, then you can take advantage of a special price (minipris). Yes, this price does not give you the opportunity to get your money back if you cancel your trip, but the opportunity to significantly save money is very attractive.
Don't forget to take advantage of discounts if you are a student, retiree or military personnel. Military personnel and students may need special international certificates confirming their status.
But if you are no longer a student, but have not reached 25-26 years old, do not despair. Many transport organizations provide discounts for youth (Youth category), which are almost as big as discounts for students.
A real find for tourists can be the transport company Lavprisexpressen, that is, the budget express (https://lavprisekspressen.no). Buses of this company can take you from Oslo to Trondheim or Stavanger for a reasonable price. Moreover, the comfort of the bus leaves no criticism. Free wi-fi, wide free seats on the first and second floors of the bus, tables and a clean toilet. Very often the bus is only a third full, which allows the tourist to take several seats at once and sleep.

Accommodation

Of course, first of all, it’s worth taking a closer look at more budget hotels in Norway. After all, their budget does not mean a worse quality of service compared to luxury hotels. There is no point in looking for especially luxurious hotels in Norway, because this country, like Sweden, values ​​comfort more than luxury. That is why you should take advantage of tourist reviews and choose a hotel not by the number of stars, but by those parameters that are more convenient for you.
Don't be afraid to stay in hostels either. Although this type of accommodation is considered more youthful, however, as a rule, peace and order are maintained in Norwegian hostels, and people of different ages can stay in them.
If you want to stay in a hotel, with all the amenities in the room, we recommend that you monitor special promotions on hotel websites. Sometimes, taking advantage of a promotion, you can pay as much for a night’s stay in a hotel as you would pay for a bed in a hostel. It is also worth paying attention to the questionnaires that you can often fill out while staying at the hotel. If you have stayed at the same hotel several times, it is possible that you, as a regular customer, will be given the opportunity to stay there for free.

Nutrition

Food is another example of the high cost of living in the country of the fjords. It is easier for a tourist to buy a kebab for 50 crowns in one of the kebab cafes on Karl Johans Gate (the main street of Oslo - author's note) than some healthier dish in a cafe or restaurant, however, you cannot live long on such food.
And yet, if you are going to a cafe or restaurant, do not forget that in almost all catering places in Norway, water is free and publicly available. Therefore, when ordering a dish at a restaurant, you can at least save on drinks. The water in Norway is clean and tasty. You can and should drink it straight from the tap. In restaurants, you can get it in a jug (if it is not within sight, ask the waiter for the jug), or in a special machine, similar to coffee machines. Free water is your right and you should get it.
Don’t forget that cheaper restaurants are located a little further from the center, or somewhere around the corner, and are not so noticeable. Sometimes you can find dishes there at more affordable prices than in other restaurants, but no worse in quality. And portions, as a rule, are large everywhere in Norway.
Traditional Norwegian food is by no means cheap, but some Norwegian products can also be purchased in supermarkets. Look carefully at the prices; discounts are possible on many products. Try to buy food not in central stores, but in supermarkets like Kiwi. Food is bought there by ordinary Norwegians who know where they can buy it cheaper.
If you buy water or beer in plastic and aluminum containers, you can return them using a special machine, which, as a rule, is located at the entrance to the supermarket. Typically, the can or bottle has a special PANT symbol on it and the amount you can get when you return it. For example, 1kr. Thus, for each bottle or can you can get from one crown and more. Returning containers in Norway is not considered the province of alcoholics or the poor, so calmly take the bottles to the machine, receive a receipt with the amount you have accumulated, and present it to the cashier when paying for your purchases. If the check, for example, costs 10 kroons, then when buying food or drinks you will pay 10 kroons less.

Cloth

Don't expect to find fancy clothes in Norway. Like everything else in this country, clothing is primarily distinguished by practicality and comfort. If you decide to buy a traditional Norwegian sweater, consider whether you'll actually be wearing it for many years before shelling out an arm and a leg for it, and these hand-knitted sweaters are indeed very expensive.
If you look for similar sweaters in other stores, you can find a cheaper sweater made in the same pattern, but knitted from a more artificial yarn.

Overall, even in this expensive country you can find ways to save money. The main thing is not to forget that even in Norway they are interested in attracting more tourists, which means there are many discounts, benefits and special offers.

Norway is far from the most popular country among Russians and residents of other CIS countries. However, it is in stable demand. In our opinion, Norway has not become so popular among Russians for the reason that prices are high here. The vacation will cost a pretty penny.

No. 1. What is the currency in Norway?

Where can I exchange money? What currency is best to take with you? The national currency is the Norwegian krone (symbol Kr).

No. 4. What are the prices for food in Norway in supermarkets and stores?

Considering that prices in cafes and restaurants are rather high, it is cheaper to eat on your own. In this case, you can purchase products in stores and supermarkets. For Russians, food prices may seem very high. The fact is that in Norway, wages are high (about 3,000 euros per month) and costs are equally high. Read information about other countries in the section.

Price statistics:

  • 1 liter of milk – from 15 to 20 kr

From March 18, 1973 to December 11, 1978, Norway participated in a system of narrowed limits for deviations of mutual exchange rates of countries that were members of the Common Market (although it was not part of the EEC). On December 12, 1978, in connection with the upcoming creation of the European Monetary System, Norway left the system of limited exchange rate fluctuations and, from January 1979, switched to establishing the kroner exchange rate based on a basket of currencies.

Norway's last gold coins were issued in 1910. During the German occupation in World War II, zinc was used instead of copper-nickel in the 10, 25 and 50 öre coins, and production of the 1 crown coin was suspended.

In 1963, the 5 crown coin was introduced, and in 1972, production of 1 and 2 öre coins was discontinued. In 1973, the size of the 5 öre coin was reduced, with their production ceasing in 1982, along with the 25 öre coins. The 10 crown coin was issued in 1983. Between 1994 and 1998, new coins were introduced into circulation, consisting of 50 öre, 1, 5, 10 and 20 crowns.

The 10 and 20 kroner coins feature a portrait of the monarch of Norway. Previously, the portrait of the monarch was also present on the 1 and 5 crown coins, but now these denominations are designed only using stylistic royal national symbols.

Norwegian krone information

The Norwegian krone is the currency of the Kingdom of Norway. Bank code - NOK. There are 100 öre in 1 crown, but now money less than 1 crown has been withdrawn from circulation. Current banknotes: 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 kroner. Coins of 1, 5, 10 and 20 crowns. Norwegian banknotes feature images of writers, scientists, artists and painters. But in 2017, the design of the banknotes will change - the competition for the best sketch of the new banknotes has already ended.

History of the Norwegian currency

It is believed that coins first appeared in Norway at the end of the 10th century during the reign of King Olaf I. Since the 17th century. the coins were minted from silver, which was mined in Kronsberg in southern Norway. The first banknotes went into circulation in 1695, and they were issued not by the king or the state, but by the entrepreneur Thor Molenn, who had a contract for this operation. But the enterprise failed because the Norwegians were not ready to give up silver coins in favor of a piece of paper with a military seal.

Norway at that time was part of Denmark. In 1736, the Danish-Norwegian Bill of Exchange Bank made a second attempt to issue banknotes. In 1791, this bank received the right to issue issues, and in 1813, the Riksbank. In 1814, Norway became part of Sweden, but parliament in 1816 decided to create a National Bank. Norway's new money was called speciedaler. Since 1874, the Norwegian krone switched to the gold standard, and the country joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union. The gold standard was abolished only in 1931. Until 1917, in addition to the Norwegian krone, the money of Denmark and Sweden was in circulation.

In 1940, the Norwegian Bank emigrated to London, and gold reserves were placed in the UK, USA and Canada. Banks in Norway were controlled by the occupation authorities. Reichsmarks were not issued for circulation during the war, but the Bank of Norway had to exchange military Reichsmarks for kroner, crediting the equivalent amount in Reichsmarks at the rate of 1 to 1.67 kroner to an account in the Reichsbank. As a result, the money supply increased 5 times. In 1945, banknotes were exchanged for new ones in a 1:1 ratio, and 1 and 2 crown notes were withdrawn from circulation.

After the war, the crown was pegged to the pound sterling at a ratio of 20.1, and in 1949 - to the American dollar - 7.142. 1. In 1992, there was a transition to a floating exchange rate, quotes began to be determined by the market, supply and demand. In the early nineties, Sweden was experiencing an economic crisis, and the Norwegian krone came under significant pressure, but survived.

Norway's main export is oil, and at the beginning of the new century the national currency strengthened significantly due to high hydrocarbon prices. The maximum quotation was noted in 2002, the price of the crown was more than $0.11. However, later Norway was affected by the global financial crisis, the kroner dropped to $0.05. In the fall of 2014, the Norwegian currency is worth $0.15. You can buy a crown for 6.88 Russian rubles.

The Norwegian krone is freely convertible, transactions with it are carried out on Forex. The exchange rate of this currency depends on world energy prices and high domestic interest rates.

Economy of Norway

The economy of this country is highly developed, as in all Scandinavian countries. The state constantly monitors the development and implementation of new and long-term development strategies for both individual key companies and the economy as a whole. State programs are always perfectly balanced and diversified. In addition to oil, gas and gas condensate, Norway has iron ore, coal, titanium, copper, nickel, and pyrites. The presence of mineral resources, as well as long sea coasts, contribute to the diversification of Norwegian industry.

The country has developed ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and shipbuilding. Norway produces radio electronics, turbines, electric locomotives, cars, and equipment. Electrical instrument making, electrochemistry, woodworking and pulp and paper industries are actively developing. Also well known in the world are goods produced by the textile, footwear, fish processing and food industries.

A small country with a small population deservedly occupies a worthy place in the economy of the European Union, corresponding to the rank of developed countries in the world in all indicators without exception.
