A good way to see Oslo is by taking the tram. The numbers 12 and 19 give you a good tour of the city. You can buy a ticket from machines at some stops for NK20 and this is valid for unlimited travel for 1 hour. Good areas to see include Grunerlokka and Gronland. We found just getting off and on when we saw something worked well as they come along very frequently. Theme: Other

 Adult Oslo Pass by marielexoteria
I find that this card will give you the most value for your money if most of the sights you're seeing are covered by it. The first time I visited Oslo, it definitely paid off to have one.
Buy it online in the comfort of your hometown, print the voucher you get on your e-mail and pick it up at Trafikanten at Karl Johans gate, the Tourist Information Centers or at some of the hotels as of visitoslo.com.
Edit Sept 2009: A map of Oslo's transport zones can be found here (PDF file). Note that the card includes transportation up until (and including) Lilleström and Skedsmokorset, and from there you pay the fare to/from Gardemoen airport.

1p each way, was the deciding factor for our 'girls' weekend away. (Ok it was 23.47GBP return including taxes etc! but still a bargain)
Flight time, approx 90 minutes.
Departed Liverpool at 1400hrs, arriving at Torp airport at 16.50. Through Passports / baggage collection with no problems, with time to spare, before boarding the Torpexpress bus to Oslo. Departing at 17.30hrs.(see Torpexpress tip for more info)
Duty Free is open for arrivals, but We'd already bought our drinks from home.
Our return journey was on the Sunday, again we caught the Torpexpress from Oslo bus station, and set off along snow covered roads. Efficiently processed through Check in, time for a quick browse around the shops, enjoyed a beer in Lindys pub, then through Passport control. Boarded the plane- plenty of empty seats. This time our plane was Eirjet -presumably part of Ryanair. We were being given the safety talk, when the Captain cut in, to announce that the airport was closed due to snow! However, he anticipated a 30 minute delay only. In the distance we could see the lights of the snowploughs on the runway. Eventually we taxxied to an area near the main runway, where 2 crane like vehicles approached, and proceeded to spray the plane with anti-freeze/de-icer. A new experience!
We soon were ready for take off, and arrived in Liverpool about 10 minutes late. Leave a Comment

Tickets are fairly cheap, you can usually skip paying, but its not worth the risk usually, the fine is huge!! But if your in a rush you can usually get away with it. Schedules are always on time and there are lots of stations situated around Oslo so its always easy to catch a train wherever you are. The best thing about the subway is it encourages communication. Its nothing like the London underground (then again what is) the seats are all facing each other so you must look at other people and share a smile, etc. No one covers their faces in newspapers the whole way :D Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
