⚠️ Family travel tips
⭕ Exchange a small amount of Norwegian kroner in advance; some small towns and shops don’t accept cards, cash is more convenient
⭕ Must-bring items: original passport, power bank, comfortable non-slip hiking shoes, common children’s medications
⭕ Fjord areas are windy; prepare windproof jackets, hats, and scarves for kids to keep warm
⭕ Norway has large temperature differences between morning and night; even in summer, bring thin down or fleece jackets for kids to layer
⭕ Watch your kids carefully during the Pulpit Rock hike; don’t get close to cliff edges, go at your own pace, don’t rush
⭕ Prepare European plug adapters and portable raincoats in advance; fjord areas have frequent rain, so be ready
