Helpful information:

• The five lines of the Oslo metro (T-banen i Oslo) are distinguished by numbers, colors (blue, purple, green, orange and yellow) and names of end stations. The metro is mainly used for connections with the suburbs. In the city center, four branches actually merge into one, and the trains move along the same paths. On the outskirts, the lines diverge, the tunnels end, the trains go to the surface, turning into a commuter train. The fifth line (Frognerseteren - Majorstuen) never reaches the center.
• The interval of train movement is different: from 3 minutes in the center to 15 minutes on the outskirts. At night, the interval of movement can reach 30 minutes.
• There are practically no escalators in the Oslo metro: underground stations are shallow, going down only a few dozen steps underground. Trains are mostly red and consist of 3-4 carriages.
• Distances between the three central stations - Jernbanetorget, Stortinget and Nationaltheatret - are small, in the center it is easier and cheaper to walk. But if you want to visit Holmenkollen ("blue" line No. 1) or Lake Sognswann ("yellow" line No. 3), the metro in this case is the most convenient way to travel.
• There are no turnstiles in the metro, no one controls you at the entrance. However, remember: just behind the yellow line begins the metro area, where you cannot stay without a ticket.

Trams in Oslo

Trams are another way to get around downtown Oslo. Oslo's tram network connects many parts of the city. Popular tram destinations include Vigeland Sculpture Park, Bislett Stadium, Oslo's Aker Brygge and Grünerløkka districts, and most of the attractions in the city center. Trams run exactly on time, with a daily interval of 10 minutes.

Buses to Oslo

There are two types of buses in Oslo: red buses that cross the city and connect the center to the outskirts, where no other means of transport go, and green buses - regional buses that run long distances and depart from the central bus terminal in Oslo. Opening hours of daily bus routes: from 05:00 to 00:00. Night buses run at night.

On green buses, enter the front door and present your ticket, informing the driver of your destination outside the city. You can enter red local buses at any door, without forgetting to punch your ticket.

If you need to get to, say, the airport at a certain time, for convenience you can contact a Russian company in advance.

Rent a car in Oslo

Norway is a very interesting country for travel with hidden corners of pure nature hidden from the eyes of tourists. There is not much to do in the cities of Norway. To explore the whole country, I recommend renting a car. A rental car will make you independent of public transport and allow you to see the best places in the country at your own pace.

It is very comfortable to see the sights of Norway with a rented car. I advise you to rent a car in advance on the website in order to rent a car at a better price and choose a car of the desired class.
