Winter is the peak time for the Northern Lights and winter sports. Expect lower temperatures but magical snowy landscapes across the country.

Spring brings the awakening of the fjords. You can see snow-capped peaks alongside blooming fruit trees and rushing waterfalls.

Summer is the most popular time for Brazilians to visit, offering 24-hour daylight in the north and perfect hiking weather.

Autumn is the best time for budget travelers to find cheap flight tickets Norway while enjoying vibrant fall foliage.

Brazilian citizens do not need a visa for short stays in Norway for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This is because Norway is part of the Schengen Area, even though it is not in the EU. You must have a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date. It is also necessary to have proof of sufficient funds for your stay and a return ticket. While a visa is not required, you should carry proof of accommodation and travel insurance that covers at least 30,000 euros for medical emergencies. Starting soon, the ETIAS authorization will be mandatory for visa-exempt travelers. Always check the latest entry rules before you book cheap flights Norway from Brazil to ensure you have all the necessary documentation for a smooth entry at the border.

Norway has an efficient public transport network consisting of trains, buses, and ferries. The Vy national railway offers scenic routes like the Bergen Line, which is a highlight for many travelers. In cities like Oslo, a single ticket covers buses, trams, metros, and local ferries. For long distances, domestic flights are common due to the rugged terrain. Renting a car is excellent for exploring fjords, but be aware of high fuel costs and toll roads. In winter, driving requires experience with icy conditions and winter tires are mandatory. Ferries are an essential part of the coastal road system, often serving as bridges between islands. Booking train tickets in advance can save you significant money compared to buying them on the day of travel. Walking and cycling are popular and safe in all Norwegian urban centers.

Norwegian food focuses on fresh, local ingredients from the sea and mountains. Seafood is a staple, with salmon, cod, and king crab being world-class. Try 'fårikål', the national dish of mutton and cabbage, or 'brunost', a unique sweet brown cheese often served on waffles. Dining out can be expensive compared to Brazil, so many travelers utilize local supermarkets like REMA 1000 or Kiwi for snacks and pre-made meals. Tap water in Norway is among the cleanest in the world and perfectly safe to drink, so bring a reusable bottle. Alcohol is heavily taxed and sold only in state-run Vinmonopolet stores for anything stronger than light beer. For a local experience, visit a 'fisketorget' or fish market in coastal cities. Tipping is appreciated for good service but is not mandatory as a service charge is usually included in the bill.

Norwegians value equality, honesty, and personal space. Punctuality is extremely important; being late is considered disrespectful. The concept of 'friluftsliv' or open-air living is central to the culture, meaning people spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. When meeting someone, a firm handshake with eye contact is standard. It is customary to remove your shoes when entering a Norwegian home. Social interactions are often direct and low-key. For a 'Don't be a tourist' tip, avoid talking loudly on public transport and respect the 'Right to Roam' law, which allows you to hike and camp almost anywhere in nature if you stay 150 meters from houses. For the best photo, head to the Opera House roof in Oslo at sunset. TICKETS.COM.BR recommends visiting a local sauna followed by a dip in the cold fjord for a truly authentic Nordic emotional experience.
