Norwegian krone (kr)

Oslo is pricier than most European cities, with high hotel, dining and alcohol costs. Public transport is efficient but not cheap, so daily tourist spending adds up quickly.

Average meal costs

Budget: kr 120-180 for fast food or a simple lunch.
Mid-range: kr 250-450 per person for a restaurant meal.
Fine dining: kr 900+ per person for upscale restaurants.
Coffee: kr 40-55 for a cappuccino.

Tipping culture

Tipping is not expected. In restaurants, rounding up or leaving 5-10% for excellent service is enough. Taxis can be rounded up, and cafés usually do not require tips.
