Hi, From Rygge there is an express bus that takes 60 minutes to reach Oslo. You can pay onboard via credit card.
Cost is 130 NOK single but 230 NOK return (hence return advisable!!)
The tourist office produces a free 'What's On in Oslo' leaflet that is useful to check venues & their opening times, directions of how to get there.
The hippest nightclubs are in the east of the city in districts like Gronland and Grunerlokka, though there are some in the centre around Karl Johans Gate. Most have a variety of live music.
Bar Boca at 30 Thorvald Meyers gate serves the best cocktails in town, and the Tea Lounge (33b Thorvald Meyers gate) is a lovely lounge for a quiet, romantic night.
Spektrum is close to Oslo S - which is connected to Frogner via tram numbers 12 & 15 (mere 10 minute ride!!)
Studenten is a good bar at 45 Karl Johans Gate thats brews it's own beer, and a youthful crowd.
Summit 22 is a bar-lounge on top of the unmissable Radisson SAS, offering panoramic views over the city. Open till 3 am!
MUST VISITS:
Vikingship Museum & Kon-Tiki museum; Aker Brygge for some bites & a stroll, Akershus Fortress, Nobel Town Hall.

Learn to say "tussen takk" = thousand thanks in Norwegian! And I thought the Vikings were boorish thugs!
They're really polite & charming.
Hi = hej (pronounced 'hey')
excuse me = oor shun (don't know how it's spelt, but this is how it sounds!)
Then switch to English. They'll appreciate you making an effort, though everyone understands English there.
I met the Norwegian band 'Enslaved' in Bergen & spent several minutes chatting to the lead singer!! Very humble folks.
Travel Tips for Oslo
Hotel room shortage, BOOK EARLY!
by SailorRoar
There is a general shortage of hotel rooms on Oslo, so if you call a travelers agent and they tell you that everything is full, then they are probably right. So the only thing you can do about it is: BOOK EARLY! Even other cities around Oslo tends to get booked out due to this problem, I have heard of people who had to go all the way to Lillehammer (just so you know Lillehammer is 2 and a half hour away by car or train) to get a room, and that was when they tried to book one week ahead.
Just enjoy Oslo!
by Raimix
Norway is really differ from my homeland, I haven't cultural shock, but have been suprised by Oslo's modern and old part. I haven't seen so much new-build scyscrapers before, as I haven't seen really old buildings, dated from 13th century and older.
My reccomendations - just enjoy Oslo walking through the streets, museums, churches, seeing panoramas and communicating with Scandinavians and so on. I have to say, I really memorised my snowboarding near Oslo fjord, as it was so funny and fast! :)
Take a walk by Karl Johan...
by Chus69
Take a walk by Karl Johan Street!
It's really funny specially if weather is sunny.
In the evening nice clubs are available for your enjoyment! Oh... I can still remember the ship where I took a great beer with Pedro and Cris, a friends of Zaragoza that we made during this trip
National Theatre
by Igraine
Buildings like this are rare in other parts of Norway but very common in the rest of Europe. Doesnt mean that this isnt a wonderfull building to look at! I dont i have seen a city so far where a lot of major buildings are standing so close to each other. You can see the palace, the theatre and the parliament building almost at once.
You must remember to view...
by jgemini65
You must remember to view every new place with open eyes! And an open mind! I am esp., happy that I am able to bring my daughter with me on every travel adventure I have! It wouldn't be the same without her!
