Oslo is usually best explored in the summer. The ideal period runs from June to August, with average high temperatures around 22°C/72°F and sunny days—although rain is fairly frequent. Summer is perfect for a swim, with water temperatures hovering around 18°C/64°F. Winter, on the other hand, is freezing cold. Temperatures rarely rise above 0°C/32°F and the sun doesn't show up much either. During the darkest months, it rises after 9 a.m. and sets around 3 p.m. That said, winter brings beautiful snowfall and a totally different kind of adventure! Just a heads-up: Northern Lights are very rare in Oslo. If you really want to see some, you’ll need to head past the 69th parallel north!
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audioguide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: on the central station's square, Oslo Sentrastasjon.
ONEPARK Oslo S P-hus : Jernbanetorget 1 If you're visiting by car, you'll have to watch out when it comes to parking, because there's the five-meter rule in Norway. Plus, fines are expensive, so beware! Prohibited parking means 5 meters in front and behind, as well as intersections and pedestrian crossings! You must always park at least 5 meters away from what could be considered a dangerous spot. Always park in the same direction you were going to, and do not stick out from the white lines. You've been warned! Oslo is firmly set on becoming the world’s first zero-emission city by 2030, and as a result, parking spaces are becoming increasingly rare—and expensive—in one of the most costly cities on the planet. Here’s a tip: if your accommodation offers parking, definitely take advantage of this and leave your car there. Otherwise, consider parking in one of the free lots located outside the city and linked to public transport. A great example is the Sognsvann car park, conveniently located at the end of the metro line. Bonus tip? It’s right next to a lake!
As you probably know, Norway isn’t exactly cheap—and visiting Oslo means keeping a close eye on your budget. Thankfully, the city has come up with the Oslo Pass. This handy pass gives you free access to all public transport as well as all the museums in the city, plus discounts on many excursions. Expect to pay around €45 for 24 hours or €65 for 48 hours at the standard rate. You can book your pass online, while in-person purchases are only available if you qualify for a discounted rate (children, students, seniors). Norway uses the Norwegian krone, or NOK. To get an approximate value in pounds or US dollars, divide the amount by ten—that’ll give you a rough conversion. You can exchange money once you're there without any issues or simply withdraw kroner from ATMs. Card payments are widely accepted, but make sure to check foreign transaction fees with your bank before you travel. Just a heads-up: the cost of living in Norway is around 40% higher than in the UK or the US, so don’t be too shocked at the prices and be sure to factor that into your holiday budget.
