Oslo - Money

The cost of living in Norway is high, and for several years Oslo has been one of the most expensive cities in the world. House prices in Oslo have gone up considerably during the nineties, but have slowed down. Prices on food and clothes are generally high, but you will find great variations in price, depending on where in the city you do your shopping. The price of cars and petrol (bensin) is among the highest in Europe, as these goods are heavily taxed.
