When you travel to Norway, there are so many tempting things to try. You see all the delicious street food options and can’t help trying everything that your eyes catch. But if you are low on a budget and want to save that penny, you won’t be able to enjoy the avalanche of street food choices. The price for interesting foods is high. It is higher than the usual price in many other countries. What is the way out? You may always go grocery shopping. There are lots of great supermarkets in the country. Your food will be fresh and tasty if you buy it from the supermarket. It will take more time, but if you take your friends with you, cooking will be a pleasure.

It relates not to food only. What about napkins? Do you have enough toiletries to feel great until the end of the vacation? When you visit Norway, you should pack a lot of staff beforehand. Don’t think you will use them? What if we say that Norway is a truly expensive country. And the more things you pack with you, the less your extra expenses will be.

You can take a train. You may buy them in advance for almost every departure. You can benefit from the cheapest tickets and save more. But such “mini price” tickets are impossible to refund or change the date.

Get your care and enjoy Norway at your own pace. You may visit any place and stay there for longer. Want to get a picnic with friends? Driving your car is a great alternative to train tickets.

Don’t have a car? Feel free to rent it through the special rental services. Such services are abundant both for locals and tourists.

Get Yourself a Tent

Don’t want to spend much on the living areas? You may always get yourself a comfortable tent. It is an adventurous experience to slope in a tent and enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
