Backpacking through Norway on a tight budget — totally doable

Did Norway on a shoestring for 18 days and it was absolutely manageable. Based in cheap guesthouses near Oslo centre and ate mostly at local spots — brunost from street stalls cost almost nothing and was better than anything in a tourist restaurant.

Geirangerfjord has an entry fee but worth every penny. midnight sun in summer was a free discovery that ended up being one of my favourite moments of the trip. Budget travellers: Norway is worth your time and money, just avoid the tourist-priced restaurants.
