 See the city by bus by Maria_75
You can choose to have the guidance in nine different languages; norwegian, english, german, spanish, french, italian, finnish, japanese and russian.
The tour takes you around the city to places like Munch Museum, Vigeland Sculpture Park, mainstreet Karl Johansgate and so on.
I have never taken this tour so I don't know how it is. But I have taken similar tours in other cities and have always found them to be very good. It's a great way of becoming more familiar with a city, seeing where the different things are located, plus learning more about the history and the different places.

 Oslo by diocletianvs
Here you can get free maps of Oslo, a yearly official tourist guide to Oslo and a monthly brochure "What's on Oslo".
Their friendly staff will answer all your questions and you can also book your accommodation using their services.
It is also possible to buy the "Oslo Pass" (covering public transport and free admission to most museums) and the "Oslo Package" that includes accommodation in one of hotels and the Oslo Pass.
At the price of 280 NOK for 2 days I did not opt for the Oslo Pass: I didn't visit many museums and most of Oslo's attractions are within the walking distance anyway so I simply paid only few individual tram tickets which was cheaper.
Check their very useful website for general info on Oslo before you go:

 Pharmacy ('apotek') at
Jernbanetorget, 24h open by ruffen
In 2004 shops, kiosks and petrol stations was given permition to sell painkillers (not the strongest ones) and a few other "light" medical stuff, othervise we norwgians have to go to the pharmacy.
If the door is closed when you visit outside normal opening hours, ring the door bell (at least it was one there when I had to visit at 0700 some years ago). Leave a Comment

I have been to Oslo twice, and came back pretty skint after each visit. I would say if you plan to go there, take lots of money with you, as it can be an exceedingly expensive city, its known to be one of the most expensive cities in Europe, but still dont let that put you off visiting it.
I loved Oslo so much I had to visit it twice. The waterfront (Akerbrygge) is also worth visiting, there are nice restaurants and bars, that offer a wide variety of tastes.
I would also recommend going on a ferry boat to one of the smaller islands to have a walk on them, if you have a travel card, you need not pay extra for the boat trip. Leave a Comment
