Tusenfryd is Norways largest amusement-park.A full day at the park and you will have time to do almost every ride once (no breaks). A really fun day that's highly recommended.

One of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world - to be more exact it was rated number 21. With its cosy cafés and restaurants, historic buildings, large parks and one seriously impressive neo-Gothic church, Sagene feels very far removed from the city’s slick new developments. But this part of town isn’t just living in the past – the district is also home to Sagene Bryggeri, Norway’s first climate-neutral brewery, and Geitmyra, a sustainable gardening and cookery school for kids.

Swimming

Go to Aker Brygge and take the small ferry out to Hovedøya. Great place for a beach day (but get there early in June-August)

Kaupunkia koskevat ohjeet

Tätä ei kannata jättää väliin

Sundays!

All the stores are shut on Sundays, so don’t plan to shop then. (Restaurants, bars and museums are open)
Liikkuminen

Download the “ruter” app.

The app can plan the trip, tell you the fastest way, and is also where you buy tickets
Tapoja säästää

Walk around town

The best way to explore the city and the old neighbourhoods is by walking. It is not a huge city so you should be able to get across town in 50 minutes.
Tapoja säästää

Tap water is better than bottled

No need to waste your money on bying water- it is just Norwegian tap water from another area. (Unless you want the bottle and don't feel like a soda)
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan

Alcohol?

If you are planning to cook and enjoy a class of wine, it might be worth bringing some. Alcohol is really expensive in Norway.
