cost of living

Coste de la vida

Norway consistently ranks among the most expensive countries globally, offering a very high standard of living. Oslo, in particular, is one of the priciest cities in the world. Housing costs in major cities are exceptionally high. Food costs are also high, especially for imported goods and dining out. Utilities are moderately priced. Public transportation is efficient but expensive, although heavily subsidized for regular users. Education is generally free, even at the university level, which significantly offsets other living costs.
