Practical information
• Time zone
– All of Norway uses Central European Time (CET), which is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). Norwegians therefore use
the same time zone as that of mainland France.

• Electricity
– The standard in Norway is 220 Volt AC (50 Hz). Norway uses European electrical outlets.

• Potable water
– Tap water is always drinkable in Norway, and its taste is very pleasant. So no need to buy water bottles.

• Norwegian Currency
– The currency is the krone, abbreviated NOK.
– 1 € is equivalent to 11.55 NOK (Conversion on 18.09.2023)
– 1 NOK is equal to 0.087 € (conversion on 18.09.2023)

• Your expenses payment

– Bank cards are accepted almost everywhere and since COVID, some places no longer accept cash. However, it is always recommended to have
some cash on hand for incidental expenses. Currency is rarely accepted and it is better to carry kroner with you.
– Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly accepted bank cards, Amex or Diners cards being much less accepted. If in doubt, inquire before
making your purchases.
