Cultural & Language Support

Norwegian is the local language, but English is widely spoken in tourism-related businesses. Basic Norwegian phrases helpful for interactions with locals:

• Takk/Tusen takk - Thank you/Thank you very much
• Unnskyld - Excuse me/Sorry
• Snakker du engelsk? - Do you speak English?
• Hvor er...? - Where is...?

Cultural considerations: Norwegians value punctuality, environmental respect, and quiet appreciation of nature. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for exceptional service (5-10%).
