How to save money on your Norwegian holiday

Travel during shoulder seasons for lower prices on flights and accommodation. May to early June and September to October offer quieter travel and more affordable options before the summer peak.
Norway is significantly cheaper to eat in if you shop at supermarkets and local bakeries rather than restaurants. Try traditional options like waffles, lapskaus (stew), and brown cheese from local shops for a fraction of restaurant prices.
Use Norway's excellent public transport system for getting around cities and between regions. Train travel offers some of the most scenic journeys in the world at reasonable prices if booked in advance.
Free activities are plentiful. Hiking Trolltunga and Preikestolen, watching the midnight sun, and exploring Oslo's waterfront are all accessible at little or no cost.

All about Norwegian currency

What is the currency of Norway?

The official currency of Norway is the Norwegian Krone, abbreviated as NOK and symbolised as kr. One krone divides into 100 øre, though øre coins are no longer in circulation.

"Krone" means "crown" in Norwegian, reflecting the currency's historical ties to the monarchy. The plural form in Norwegian is "kroner," so you might hear or see both "krone" and "kroner" depending on context. Both are correct; "krone" is singular, "kroner" is plural.

The Norwegian Krone was first introduced in 1875 as part of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, an agreement between Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to align their currencies. While the union dissolved in 1914 following World War I, Norway retained the krone, and it has been the country's official currency ever since.

The Norwegian Krone is also the official currency of Svalbard, Norway's Arctic archipelago.

Norwegian Krone notes and coins

Banknotes: 50 kr, 100 kr, 200 kr, 500 kr, 1,000 kr

Coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 20 kr

Norway's current banknote series, introduced from 2017, has a striking dual design. One side features a historical motif and the other showcases abstract, modern geometric patterns inspired by the sea, reflecting Norway's maritime heritage.

Fun facts about Norwegian banknotes

Norway's current banknote series was introduced between 2017 and 2019. Each note has a dual-sided theme: one side features iconic Norwegian cultural heritage, while the reverse showcases abstract geometric designs representing the sea, waves, and weather.

The 100 kr note features Astrid Nørgaard's design of the Gokstad Viking ship and a pixelated ocean on the reverse.
The Norwegian krone "kr" symbol is shared by other Scandinavian currencies including the Swedish krona (SEK) and the Danish krone (DKK), which can sometimes cause confusion when travelling across Nordic countries.

Travel Money Trivia — Norway edition

The Norwegian Krone was introduced in 1875 as part of the Scandinavian Monetary Union alongside Sweden and Denmark. Although the union dissolved in 1914, all three countries kept their krone currencies.
"Krone" means "crown" in Norwegian, a reference to the monarchy. The plural is "kroner."
Norway is consistently ranked among the top two or three most expensive countries in the world, alongside Iceland and Switzerland. A simple coffee in Oslo can cost AUD $10-$15, and restaurant meals often exceed AUD $40-$60 per person.
Despite being one of the world's most cashless economies, Norway passed legislation in 2024 requiring all retailers to accept physical cash, citing national security concerns about infrastructure vulnerability to cyberattacks.

Do I need cash in Norway?
Norway is one of the world's most cashless countries, with cards and contactless payments accepted almost everywhere. Less than 5% of transactions in Norway use physical cash. Major credit and debit cards, as well as mobile payment apps, work throughout the country.
That said, having a small amount of Norwegian Krone is still useful for:
- Tips (though not expected in Norway, they're appreciated)
- Remote or rural areas with limited card readers
- Emergency backup if digital payment systems fail
- Some markets and smaller local vendors
Norway passed legislation in 2024 requiring all retailers to accept cash, so your krone will always be accepted. But for most everyday spending, your card will serve you perfectly well.

What is the best place to buy Norwegian Krone in Australia?
A dedicated foreign currency specialist will almost always offer a better deal than a bank, post office, or airport exchange. Here's how the options compare:
- Banks typically charge transaction fees on top of a less competitive rate.
- Post offices offer limited currency options and variable rates.
- Airport exchanges are the most expensive option. Buy before you travel, not after you land.
Travel Money Oz charges no fees or commission on NOK cash purchases and offers a Price Beat Guarantee on in-store purchases. You can also order Norwegian Krone online for same-day click & collect or home delivery.
Is it better to buy Norwegian Krone in Australia or Norway?
It's almost always better to buy Norwegian Krone in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges at Oslo Gardermoen and Bergen Flesland airports typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees. Sorting your NOK before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared.
That said, because Norway is so cashless, you could also consider loading a Travel Money Oz Currency Pass with NOK for convenient card spending throughout your trip.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to NOK rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.
How much is 1 AUD in Norwegian Krone?
What affects the AUD to NOK exchange rate?
The AUD to NOK exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and Norges Bank (Norway's central bank)
- Global oil prices, as Norway is a major oil exporter and the krone is closely linked to petroleum revenues
- Global commodity prices, particularly for Australian mineral and agricultural exports
- Broader risk sentiment in global markets, as the NOK is considered a commodity-linked currency
Rates change daily, so it's worth checking the live AUD to NOK rate above before you buy.
How do I convert leftover Norwegian Krone back to AUD?
You can sell your leftover Norwegian Krone back to Australian dollars at any Travel Money Oz store. NOK buy-back is available in-store only and is not processed through the online calculator. We recommend calling ahead to confirm buy-back availability before visiting.
If you originally bought your krone from Travel Money Oz, you may also be eligible for our Buy Back Bonus, which gets you a better rate than the standard buy-back.

How much spending money do I need for Norway?
Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world, significantly pricier than Australia. Costs are high across food, transport, and accommodation. As a rough guide:
- Budget travellers staying in hostels and self-catering typically spend AUD $150-$200 per day.
- Mid-range travellers average AUD $250-$350 per day once accommodation, restaurant dining, and activities are factored in.
- Oslo is the most expensive city. Fjord regions, Bergen, and the north tend to be comparable in cost.
Worth noting: a simple coffee in Norway can cost AUD $10-$15. Restaurant meals often start at AUD $40-$60 per person. Alcohol is particularly expensive due to high taxes. Buying groceries from supermarkets like Rema 1000, Kiwi, or Coop is significantly cheaper than eating out.
