Norway’s high cost of living off-set by its perks
Norway is well-known for its high living costs. The Nordic country is one of Europe’s most expensive countries in which to live, with property and food prices much higher than the UK.
But exactly how much more expensive is everyday living? According to figures from Numbeo, the cost of living is 48.5% higher than the United Kingdom, with rent almost 15% higher and consumer prices almost a third higher. And if you’re a fast food fan, The Economist’s Big Mac Index 2017 revealed that Norwegian’s pay the second highest price in the world for the burger.
