Respect & manners
- Be on time and keep it simple: Norwegians value modesty.
- Take your shoes off when you enter a home.
- Tipping is not expected; rounding up for great service is a nice extra.
- Wine and spirits are sold only in Vinmonopolet shops, with short opening hours.
- Norway is not in the EU but is in Schengen: check your entry rules.
- Payment by card is almost everywhere; some places are card-only.
