- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): 400 kr - 600 kr (€38 - €56). Use the official taxi rank or one of the licensed apps like BergenTaxi. Metered daytime fares to the centre typically run 400-600 NOK. Refuse offers from drivers who approach you inside the terminal or quote flat cash prices.
- Best alternative: Bybanen light rail line 1 from the airport terminal to Byparken in the city centre (42 kr (€3.95))
- If you use the Skyss ticket app or a paper ticket, validate it before boarding or as you board. Ticket inspectors do random checks on the Bybanen and buses. There is no tap-in/tap-out on gates; boarding is open on the light rail. Fine without a valid ticket: 1,200 kr (€112.96).
- Tipping is not required or expected in Norway. Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% in a restaurant is appreciated but never expected. Taxi drivers and guides do not expect tips.
- Service is always included in the bill in Norway. There are no cover charges or service charges added. Menus always show prices including tax. If a restaurant tries to add a separate service charge, it is not standard practice.
- Always choose to be charged in NOK and decline dynamic currency conversion when paying by card. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent machines. Norway is overwhelmingly card-friendly; many places are cashless, so you may not need much cash at all.
