How much does a trip to Norway cost?
Accommodation, food and transport prices for a week.
Short answer
A week in a Norwegian hotel costs NOK 12,075 for the room alone at Visit Norway's average of NOK 1,725 a night, before food and transport. A meal in a budget restaurant costs NOK 190–350, and Vy sells Bergen Line train tickets from NOK 359.
Why
- Visit Norway gives NOK 1,725 as the average price per hotel room per night, and basic campsite cabins from around NOK 700.
- Visit Norway's 2026 price list puts a meal in a budget restaurant at NOK 190–350 and a main course in a mid-range restaurant from NOK 250.
- Vy's website lists trips on the Bergen Line from NOK 359 and buses from Stavanger to Bergen from NOK 249.
Details
In Oslo, a single public transport ticket for zone 1 costs NOK 46 and is valid for 60 minutes. The Oslo Pass costs NOK 580 for 24 hours and includes free access to over 30 museums and attractions and Ruter transport. Nature, national parks and the scenic routes are free, and food from grocery shops costs far less than eating out.
Tip
Book trains and buses early and check Vy's low fare calendar, since Visit Norway advises buying transport tickets early for the best prices.
