Essential Travel Tips
Public transport in Oslo is excellent; consider purchasing an Oslo Pass for unlimited travel and free entry to many museums.
Norway can be expensive, so budgeting for meals and activities is crucial. Look for lunch specials or food halls like Vippa for more affordable options.
Dress in layers, as Norwegian weather can be unpredictable, even in summer. Waterproof outer layers are advisable.
Embrace 'koselig' (Norwegian coziness) – enjoy warm drinks, good company, and comfortable settings, especially during cooler months.
Learn a few basic Norwegian phrases like 'Takk' (thank you) and 'Hei' (hello); while most speak English, locals appreciate the effort.

Local Insights & Tips
