Drawing cash in Norway

In June, I am going to Norway for 2 weeks. I have pre booked accomodation, but several of the places only take cash, and in Norway, that is a lot of cash!

I have read the article on cards, and it does not seem to cover the cost of cash, in Norway?

Talking from experience, can anyone reccomend the best card/account for drawing large amounts, maybe £200 or so daily.

Thanks

    Norway is no different to elsewhere for drawing cash - the article is as valid there as anywhere.

    Only problem may be in finding an ATM as it's sparsely populated.

    It is a little different in that a lot of cards seem to quote US dollars/Euros/Sterling?

    Any debit card will allow you to withdraw Norwegian cash at an ATM from your UK bank account for whatever their standard markup/fee is. Most allow £200 a day, some £300. You may be allowed more over the counter in a bank.

    If you are thinking prepaid cards, then unless you can find one in NOK (unlikely) then sterling is the way to go. You get NOK out with only the one conversion - any other currency there would be 2 conversions.
