Oslo Pocket Guide

Oslo

The most expensive city I've ever been to. One-hour city transport ticket (bus, tram, subway) - 4 EUR. Burger King meal - 20 EUR. Weather was horrible. However, the city is beautiful, and should be visited in July/August - April was just too early and too cold to enjoy. The Opera is a must-see, as well as Akershus Fortress overlooking the city and the Vigeland sculpture park. We made it 5 minutes too late for the Holmenkollen SkiJump Museum, so make sure you're there before 16:00.

Insider Tip:1. No money exchange offices at Ryge Airport, and nobody accepts EUR, only Norwegian Kroner. However, everything can be paid with credit cards. Many places/business refuse Electron cards. 2. Vietnam House Restaurant - great food, decent prices. Bernt Ankersgate 6B.

Definitely recommend Oslo!

Oslo was really cool. It was a bit windy but that's expected. We were there for 16 of Mai which was really cool to be a part of the parades and festivities. Oslo was much smaller than I thought and that made it easy to explore. The Holmenkollen Ski Jump was amazing to see. The views of the city from up there were incredible. I highly recommend visiting Oslo.

Insider Tip:Know a local and just explore. I have friend who lives outside Oslo and he helped showed us around. He also speaks Norwegian so that made it much easier too.

I have no idea about OSLO

I regret that I should cancel my trip to Oslo due to lack of time. I hope someday it will be realized.

Hmmm...

It is worth visitng (a couple of days maybe) but definately not the best European city for a backpacker. The city itself is not very interesting to explore and rather boring. It is very expensive to eat and drink even with just buying the basics and no luxeries. Alcohol is VERY expensive, so even just for a social drink with friends, you would have to spend eight euros on one pint of beer. The cost of everything is very high. Though the fjords are very beautiful and it is lovely and very easy to walk from t

Insider Tip:Buy food at little shops to save money. It is very expensive to eat out, even buying a coffee in a cafe is expensive.

Oslo

There are somethings worth doing in Oslo, its a very compact CDB, with the standard Capital attractions in Europe. Palace, Museums, University and the Opera House, some of the more interesting things are a bit further out of town like the Ski Jump as an example, Norway is a great country to for its natural beauty so a couple of days is all you need in Oslo.

Insider Tip:Supermarkets or bakeries are the best way to eat, avoid the fast food restaurants or you will be quickly spending $20 on not so much.
