Etiquette, safety and scams

Etiquette

  • Greeting: Handshake, first names; avoid: Small talk that is too personal
  • Nature: Greet other hikers, close gates, carry litter out; avoid: Loud music on trails
  • Home visit: Shoes off; bring flowers or chocolates; 'takk for maten' after the meal; avoid: Arriving late
  • Conversation: Modest, factual, humorous; avoid: Showing off wealth — Norwegians are rich but understated
  • 17 May: Dress up, join the crowds, wave a flag; avoid: Treating the parades as a tourist show
  • Queues: Take a number; avoid: Pushing in

Scams and watch-outs

  • Winter storms can close parts of the Atlantic Road; check road status before driving.
