| Mar 27, 2023 at 23:14 | comment | added | Relaxed | Similarly, I just looked up the rate for a room at the different Thon Hotels in Oslo tonight and I am seeing rates between NOK 1400 and 2300, again not more expensive than a business hotel pretty much anywhere I have been in Western Europe recently (Vienna, Madrid…) and cheaper than Paris or London. | |
| Mar 27, 2023 at 23:14 | comment | added | Relaxed | Regarding prices, that has long been my impression and I initially wrote ”very expensive”. That is certainly the case for many things, especially going out or alcohol but I am not so sure it's completely true anymore. This week, I got breakfast in Ålesund under €10, somewhat fancy coffee was €3 or 4. Not cheap but not more expensive than Paris or Amsterdam. | |
| Mar 27, 2023 at 23:13 | comment | added | Relaxed | @leftaroundabout All great things to do but I don't think this is the kind of things the OP had in mind. I agree the experiences don't compare but while I love hiking in the Alps, I also love being on the sea and I actually find the Norwegian coast even more impressive that way. | |
| Mar 27, 2023 at 22:58 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | Calling Norway “relatively expensive” is a bit of an understatement. While it is possible to have affordable vacations here, those require dispensing with indoors accomodations such as meals or overnight stays. Serious adventurers can take their tent on a hike- or bikepacking trip (or ski with pulk). Stuffing a motorhome full of food is an option that's perhaps feasible for more people and still makes for a great nature experience. Cruises are great for how care-free they are, but though the fjords are also impressive from a boat I'd say it doesn't compare to seeing them from a mountaintop. | |
