Soldi e contanti

Valuta: NOK · Norwegian krone

Norway is largely cashless: cards and phone payments are accepted almost everywhere, including small kiosks, ferries and parking. Locals use Vipps, which needs a Norwegian bank account. Shops must still accept cash by law in most cases, but some do not keep change. Euros are not accepted. Always pay in NOK when a terminal offers your home currency.
