If you don't have the time to go to the mountains this is the best hill Oslo has to offer. Easy to get to (subway) and you can rent equipment to ski/snowboard

It is a nice building where you can walk on the roof. Bring sunglasses on a sunny day (the marble hurts your eyes)

One of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world - to be more exact it was rated number 21.
With its cosy cafés and restaurants, historic buildings, large parks and one seriously impressive neo-Gothic church, Sagene feels very far removed from the city’s slick new developments. But this part of town isn’t just living in the past – the district is also home to Sagene Bryggeri, Norway’s first climate-neutral brewery, and Geitmyra, a sustainable gardening and cookery school for kids.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
No te lo pierdas
Sundays!
All the stores are shut on Sundays, so don’t plan to shop then. (Restaurants, bars and museums are open)
Cómo moverse
Download the “ruter” app.
The app can plan the trip, tell you the fastest way, and is also where you buy tickets
Formas de ahorrar
Walk around town
The best way to explore the city and the old neighbourhoods is by walking. It is not a huge city so you should be able to get across town in 50 minutes.
Formas de ahorrar
Tap water is better than bottled
No need to waste your money on bying water- it is just Norwegian tap water from another area.
(Unless you want the bottle and don't feel like a soda)
Qué meter en la valija
Alcohol?
If you are planning to cook and enjoy a class of wine, it might be worth bringing some. Alcohol is really expensive in Norway.
