Tipping & Etiquette
Recommendation: Service is included. Light rounding up is possible. Tipping is not strictly expected in Norway. If you were very satisfied, you can round up the bill or leave about 5-10%.
- DO Enjoy nature (the 'right to roam' allows wild camping under rules).
- DO Dress in layers.
- DO Buy alcohol at the 'Vinmonopolet' (state monopoly stores).
- DON'T Avoid loud, boastful behavior.
- DON'T Do not criticize openly; Norwegians prefer indirect communication.
- DON'T Do not leave trash in nature.
Power Sockets & Tap Water
Plug Type & Electricity: Type C & F (230V, 50Hz). Standard Euro and Schuko plugs fit.
Tap Water: Excellent! Water from Norwegian streams in nature is often so pure you can drink it directly.
Insider Tip: The 'Allemannsretten' (right to roam) allows wild camping in nature (at least 150m from houses).
