Planning a trip to Norway? No need to tell you that this is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Saving a little money on high roaming charges would be great and therefore I recommend either an e-sim card for Norway or buying a prepaid sim card on arrival in Norway.

This is a complete guide for finding the best way to stay connected when traveling to Norway. Find out everything about buying a prepaid sim card in Norway, where to buy a sim card, the best e-sim cards for Norway, up to date prices as per August 2023, the best 4G/5G network in Norway, my recommendation, info about international sim cards and more.

Last February 2019 I finally made it to Norway, unofficially country number 100 and decided to visit Kristiansand in winter. Why choose Oslo when you can also travel to Kristiansand? It turned out to be a great choice as I had an amazing time. This was also due to Clarion Hotel Ernst Kristiansand where I stayed while traveling around Southern Norway.

Visit Kristiansand in winter? Yes why not? It is simple, when everyone goes right, I tend to go left. So why not? It was my first time in Norway and I did not just want to see Oslo, I also wanted to travel through Norway a little and see some more than only the capital.
