 A valid 7 day pass by HORSCHECK
Once I ran into a ticket inspection when I was just about to leave a metro station. A couple of ticket inspectors were present at all exits, so there wasn't any chance to get away. Ticket fines are about 750 NOK. However, luckily I had a valid 7 day pass ... :o) Leave a Comment

 Bring enough money... by Maria_75
The "official" touriststores are very pricey. They sell typical norwegian "touriststuff" like trolls, sweaters, calendars, books and other souvenirs. You can find many of the same things in other places. Most of the time they will not be "original souvenirs", but the prices are a lot lower.
Buy food and drinks in the supermarket, and not in a kiosk. Check out my pages or look on internet to find cheap accomodation and restaurants. There are lots of expencive ones, but you can find cheaper places that are just as nice.
Some of the attractions can be a bit expencive, so if you want to save money you should check out the different prices before you decide what to see and where to go. Many attractions are also free and are worth checking out even if you are not on a budget. Leave a Comment

 I prefer this 4x to For-ex by sourbugger
Unfortunately exchanging money is not cheap in Oslo. Banks will frequently charge up to 70 kr or more, even for small amounts.
It is probably better to use an ATM or the cheap (ish) foreign exchange Bureau above the tourist info at the Central station : Forex
Forex have a number of branches in Oslo. They appear to offer a better rate than the banks and charge less commission too. Leave a Comment

I'm a blond young girl and nothing bad has ever happened to me when I have walked around in Oslo Centre at night times. alone I.believe there's criminality in all cities in Scandinavia but as long as you avoid provoking people and act like a polite and nice human being you should be safe on the streets. you'll probably meet som junkies and drunk people at the metro stations but they're pretty harmless Leave a Comment

 Pepper anyone? by diocletianvs
Norway is one of the wealthiest states thanks to its oil reserves but its inhabitants also have many benefits thanks to extremely high taxes. Oslo is one of the most expensive places to live in the whole world and although locals are aware that tourists in general have lower earnings than Norwegians when it comes to prices there is no mercy. There are no cheap things here - it is only the difference between less expensive and more expensive. The best is to stop calculating the prices all the time, limiting yourself to what you can afford.
I certainly wouldn't be able to afford myself this salt and pepper jars and a toothpick holder I found somewhere in Oslo: each piece costed more than 4,000 NOK (500 EUR). Beautiful, but definitely "peppered".

 Rain in Oslo by tessy
The other thing about the weather was: for sunday, the forecast on TV showed nothing else than rain. We thought about what to do, because we wanted to enjoy the Oslo fjord. Well, ge got up: sun was shining. We went to the ferry boat: sun was shining. We went to the islands: sun was shining. We went to Akershus: sun was shining. But we were not completely disappointed. When we were in the tourist information to buy some gifts for our grls, it suddenly started to rain. But as soon as we wanted to continue our way, rain stopped and sun was shining again.
So never trust the TV weather forecast!!! Leave a Comment
