Transport
Tromsø is a compact town with a small airport. Immediately after leaving the luggage reclaim area you will find an exit leading you directly to taxis and the airport shuttle bus taking you to the centre. A taxi would charge you about 120 to 150 Norwegian kroner. A ticket on the airport shuttle bus is 45 Norwegian kroner.
You can pay your taxi using any common credit card.
Currency
The currency in Norway is Norwegian kroner. Euros are not accepted.
Most restaurants accept credit cards. But be aware that many shops do not accept them. They might have terminals, but many of these are only for the system connected to Norwegian bank accounts (debit cards). Look for the credit card stickers on the entrance door.
You will find ATMs/Cash Machines around the centre where you can withdraw Norwegian kroner.

You are encouraged to pay your conference fee with your credit card by filling in a form and hand it in to our secretariat. Alternatively we will send out invoices after the conference.
Please do not pay cash to the secretariat.
