Saving tips (apply to any trip length):
- 💡 Oslo Pass covers all museums + public transport + fjord ferry — ESSENTIAL at these prices
- 💡 Supermarket (Rema 1000, Kiwi) breakfast + lunch spend is 60% below café
- 💡 Vinmonopolet (state alcohol shop) is the only "cheap" wine source
- 💡 Ruter 24-hour family ticket (2 adults + 4 kids) is 100 NOK = €8
Best time for a 3-day Oslo trip
When: May–Sep (long days, swimmable fjord), Dec (Christmas market + Winter Park), avoid Jan–Mar (dark, -10°C with wind chill)
Getting there: Oslo Airport (OSL) → centre by Flytoget train in 20 min, direct. Direct from most European hubs (2–3h); SAS and Norwegian both serve it.
