FAQ's about Norwegian Krone
Norway is one of Europe’s more expensive destinations, so it’s wise to budget accordingly. On average, plan for around 1,200–2,000 NOK per day to cover accommodation, meals, transport, and sightseeing. If you’re travelling on a tighter budget, self-catering and public transport can help reduce daily costs.
The Norwegian Krone (NOK) comes in both coins and banknotes.
Coins: 1, 5, 10, and 20 kroner
Banknotes: 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kroner
It’s useful to have smaller coins and notes for everyday purchases like coffee or public transport.
Norway is a highly cashless society, and cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis, cafés, and even market stalls. However, it’s still handy to carry a small amount of cash for emergencies or in very remote areas. For convenience, you can use the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card, which works just like a debit card and lets you pay in Norwegian Krone directly.
Foreign transaction fees or currency conversion charges can apply if you use your regular debit or credit card abroad—typically around 2%–3%. To avoid these fees, consider using the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card, which allows you to load Norwegian krone in advance and spend without extra charges.
Tipping in Norway is not obligatory. Service charges are usually included in restaurant and bar bills. However, it’s common to round up the total or leave a 5–10% tip for good service. In taxis or cafés, rounding up to the nearest convenient amount is perfectly acceptable.
Meals in Norway tend to be pricey. Expect to pay around 200–400 NOK per person for a mid-range restaurant meal, while fast food or a simple lunch might cost 100–150 NOK. You can save by buying food at supermarkets or eating at cafés that offer daily specials.
The amount of Norwegian krone you’ll need depends on how long you’re staying and your spending habits. A good approach is to exchange enough NOK for your first few days for small expenses, then use the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for most purchases while in Norway.
Exchange rates can fluctuate, so it’s a good idea to monitor NOK rates ahead of your trip. Buying when the pound is strong against the krone can give you better value. You can also lock in a good rate by loading your Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card in advance.
Hays Travel offers a Buy Back Scheme, so you can sell any leftover NOK after your trip. It’s a simple way to make sure you’re not left with unused cash once you’re home.
You can click & collect, visit your local Hays Travel branch, or choose home delivery for fast and easy currency purchase. Alternatively, you can load NOK onto the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card before you go.
Nearly all payments can be made with a card, but it’s sensible to carry a small amount of cash just in case. The Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card gives you the best of both worlds — convenience, security, and the ability to pay directly in Norwegian krone without extra fees.
Norway is very safe, but it’s still smart to be cautious. Keep cash in a secure wallet or hotel safe and avoid carrying large sums. Since most payments are made by card, you only need to carry a small amount of cash for minor purchases or backup.
