Shopping in Bergen

If you leave out the very expensive price level of Norway, Bergen offers lovely places for shopping. Bergen's shopping places range from large shopping malls to small shops selling anything from table cloths to funny toys. One of the most popular shopping articles in Norway are traditional wool jerseys, which are available in many shops also in Bergen. Another interesting thing about shopping in Norway, as Norway, all foreign citizens (except for Swedish, Finnish, and Danish) receive a VAT refund of about 20 % of things bought in tax free labeled shops. The refund is received when you leave in Global Refund office, when leaving Norway at latest one month after the buy.
