Beautiful for a walk in all seasons, especially during spring and late fall. There is also a geological museum there with a dinosaur (not alive, unfortunately) and a newly built climate house.

City advice

Getting around

Take the local train, not the xpress train, from the airport

Its only five minutes slower, but half the price!
Getting around

Download the "Ruter Billett" and "Ruter Reise" apps

Its the easiest and cheapest way to buy tickets and to get around on Oslos fairly good public transport network
Getting around

Electric scooters is an effective way to get around

The current providers are Tier, Voi, Lime, Circ, Zvipp, with different prices and availability. Please be careful, and don't park them in the middle of the sidewalk as many local idiots do.
Ways to save

Drink water from the tap

Dont waste money (and the environment) on buying bottled water. The local tap water tastes great and is healthy.
