How do I meet people in Norway?
When we asked people living in Norway about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Norway can join local clubs and participate in activities such as soccer or tennis. They can join a gym, take a cooking class, or explore museums, restaurants and galleries with other expats. Expats may also attend English language meetings, join an organisation or join a religious or cultural group. Additionally, expats can try meeting people by attending social events or local festivals, or connecting with other internationals via social media platforms," explained one expat living in Norway.
