Cultural tips

- Norwegians are among the highest coffee consumers in the world. Drinking coffee is a social custom that has been around for centuries. You can find coffee shops on virtually every street corner in larger cities.

- Alcohol consumption is a significant part of Norwegian social culture, but it is not the main focus of social gatherings.

- Tap water in Norway is clean and safe to drink. It is also free in restaurants, cafes, and public places. If you want to help reduce waste, bring your reusable water bottle.

- Milk is a popular drink in Norway, and it's generally consumed during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can find different kinds of milk, such as skimmed, semi-skimmed, or whole milk in grocery stores.
