German citizens do not need a visa in Norway for a stay of up to 3 months. Since Norway is not a member of the EU, it is advisable to take your passport with you in addition to your identity card, because many Norwegian authorities, such as banks, do not recognize your identity card. The selected travel document must be valid for at least as long as the length of stay in Norway.
The official currency of Norway is the Norwegian krone. The exchange rate is approximately 1: 1o, whereby 1 euro corresponds to approx. 10 NOK (as of December 8th, 2021).
The money can be exchanged at banks or in exchange offices, although in many places cash is not accepted. Card payment is widespread in Norway and is often preferred to cash. For security reasons, we strongly advise against exchanging money with private individuals.

Norwegian is a North Germanic language, descended from the Indo-European language family. Norwegian shares a lot in common with German and English.
The specialty is that two official languages have emerged over time. About 85-90% of Norwegians speak Bokmål ("book language") and 10-15% speak Nynorsk ("New Norwegian"). Bokmål is more common in the east of the country and Nynorsk in the west.
Norwegians are generally fluent in English and can often even speak a few sentences in German.
