Local knowledge for Oslo
Where to stay
Budget travelers cluster in Grønland and Grünerløkka, both a short walk or one stop on the T-bane from Oslo S. Grønland is the cheapest base and has the most hostel beds (Anker Hostel is the standby), while Grünerløkka puts you near the bars and cheap eats along Thorvald Meyers gate.
Getting around
- Skip the Flytoget airport express from Gardermoen and take the Vy regional train instead. Same trip into Oslo S, roughly half the price.
- Drink the tap water and refill your bottle, and buy food at Kiwi or Rema 1000 rather than restaurants. Eating out in Oslo is brutal on a budget, so cook at the hostel or grab deli counter food at Mathallen in the Vulkan quarter.
- A lot of the good stuff is free anyway: Vigeland Park, the Opera House roof you can walk up, and the harbor path along Aker Brygge. Save your kroner for the one or two paid museums you actually care about.
When to go
Beds are cheapest from November through February outside the Christmas and New Year week, and they fill up fast from mid-June through August when Norwegians and cruise crowds descend.
