Don’t forget to exchange Swedish Krona (SEK) to Norwegian Krone (NOK) before travelling to Norway
If you're heading to Norway, it's essential to be prepared for the use of the local currency: the Norwegian Krone (NOK). While credit and debit cards are widely accepted, it's also wise to carry some cash in NOK for convenience and emergencies.
Before exchanging SEK to NOK, it’s a good idea to plan your travel budget. Once you’ve determined how much travel money you’ll need, you can visit one of our currency exchange branches or place an order online.

Suggestions for your stay in Norway
While in Norway, make sure to explore Oslo, the capital. Nature lovers will appreciate stunning destinations like Geirangerfjord and Lofoten.
Geirangerfjord is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts, but Nærøyfjord offers equally breathtaking views and experiences.
For a seaside escape, head to beautiful beaches like Paradisbukta in Oslo, Seljesanden in Nordfjord, or Bunes Beach in Lofoten.
Winter sports lovers should visit Northern Norway, especially Hemsedal, the country's most popular ski resort.
