Rules in force · 10Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…

Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
Norway ↗Norway is not in the EU but is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources.
Norway ↗Wine and spirits are sold only at the state Vinmonopolet shops; supermarkets sell beer, and not in the evenings or on Sundays.
Norway ↗The right to roam (allemannsretten) lets you hike and camp on most uncultivated land, keeping a distance from homes and leaving no trace.
Oslo and Eastern Norway ↗Book seats for long-distance trains ahead in summer; Interrail and Eurail passes need a seat reservation on most Norwegian services.
Oslo ↗Taxis from the airport cost many times the train fare; take the train unless you land after its last departure.
Oslo ↗Wine and spirits are sold only at Vinmonopolet shops; supermarkets sell beer, and not late in the evening or on Sundays.
