Souvenirs in Norway include hats, knitted sweaters, fine gloves and mittens, Norwegian silver, porcelain, rose-painted wood objects, hand-woven rugs, glass and ceramics of all kinds. And that’s not the half of it! There are also as many as 3000 shops in Norway that offer Tax-Free shopping, where the VAT of your purchase is refunded. This is a special for travelers in Norway. So keep your eyes peeled for the Tax-Free shop signs when spending 310 kroner or more. That’s about 39 Euros. All the more reason to shop, shop, shop in Norway!
