🏨 What advice do you have for finding cheap places to live in Norway?
To save money, book in advance, avoid the tourist peak season (June–August), choose hostels and guesthouses away from the city centre, rent accommodation with a kitchen to save on food, and regularly check for discounts and promotions on booking websites. Think about staying in areas that are less popular but have beautiful scenery and lower prices.

The most common mistakes people make are booking late, choosing accommodation far from the main attractions, and ignoring cancellation policies and extra charges. To avoid problems, book in advance, read reviews, check the location on the map, and make sure you understand the booking conditions.
🏡 Why choose to stay in a hotel or hostel on the edge of a Norwegian city?
It's cheaper and more spacious to stay in accommodation on the outskirts. These are often in pretty areas close to nature and parks. At the same time, good public transport lets you reach the city centre quickly and easily, and it's cheap too.
