I am planning a trip in the near future to Oslo, where I spent three years many many years ago. I have very fond memories of Oslo. Can anyone tell me the following: Does Club7 still exist? Is the University Dormatories still rentable in summer to tourists? Do they still sell live shrimps at 4.00 P.M at the port?
Can you still book a cabin etc for a stay in the countryside at the railway station? Does the Art Gallery/Art School still have a cafeteria for its art students etc? Tak ska de ha , Thanks in advance for your replies
Club7!? My parents used to go there before I was even born! And no, it doesn't exist anymore (it went bankrupt in 1985).
I don't know whether or not the University housing is open to non-students in summer these days (they definitely were 10 years ago, but I think I'd get an update on that). Contact Anker Studentbolig (http://www.ankerstudentbolig.no/), Studentsamskipnaden i Oslo (http://www.sio.no/wps/portal/sio?reset=true) or Oslo- og Akershushøgskolenes studentsamskipnad (http://www.oas.no/index.asp) and ask them directly.
Yes, you can still get shrimp at the pier by Rådhuset. The old tourist information desk at Oslo S (Østbanen) doesn't exist anymore, but perhaps the new tourist info in Trafikanten can help instead. (In case you meant Vestbanen, that station is no longer in use.)
Welcome back to Oslo, hope you have a lovely stay! :D
thank you for your reply
The Oslo Pass is a good alternative if you wanna travel around Oslo and have a free entrace to the main museums. But consider buying the Oslo Pass. Some museums were during my stay in Oslo free (maybe they are ever free):
National Gallery
Munch Museum
Samtidskunst Museum
Vigeland Museum und Vigelandpareken
Check every museum on www.visitoslo.com. The one day ticket for public transport costs 50 NOK - if I remember well.
The 72 hours Oslo Pass costs 375 NOK. (December 2005)
I just adore Karl Johans Gate. This is the main street in Oslo and it is full of nice shops and interesting shopping arcades.
In the evening , it is the place to start of the night, always full of youths. I was lucky enough to be in Oslo for Christmas , so this street was wonderfully decorated. ALthough , the weather was very cold (Brrr!) , I enjoyed this time.
The street performers brave the cold weather and add to the magic of this place.
Moreover, it is a very safe area, Norwegian police were checking the place all the time.
You know, but Paris has history, climate and all things what makes city interesting. What you can show me in Oslo ? Holmenkolen ? Opera and...???
I had accomodation at Radisson Scandinavia...believe me in Japan they have bigger rooms. And definitetly rate was hifger than in 5 stars hotel in centrum of tokyo
Prices,..hmmmmm In Paris I have always chioce. In Oslo not at all.
English...hmmm..that makes oslo more comfortable definitely to ask. BUT ask for WHAT? One cathedral closed because of renovation in the middle of toursit season. Aboud food..hmm I ate the worst sushi in my life. WHY in Norway on duty free all stuffs are more expensive than in a shops in the city?
To sum up I prefer no almost speking people in Japan, France than advance conversation in Oslo.
warm regards

The Viking ship Museum is a definite must see...if you are into Scandinavian History or relics! I enjoyed this museum because I was actually able to see the scale of one of these vessels...and found out that the Vikings had Queens that they buried in these ships! Interesting!

Q: Oslo Information "Hi, I am taking the ferry tomorrow morning to Oslo from Denmark and read that Thursday, May 17 is a National Holiday in Norway. ..."
A: "Yes, the museums are open. I can't see any reason why not. Have in mind that May 17th is the Norwegian constitutional day. There will be very crowded in the city centre...."
