Oslo on a budget

Oslo often tops the list of the world's most expensive cities, which gives the impression that it is expensive to travel to Oslo and Norway. However, these lists usually refer to the cost of LIVING in Norway, and have little relevance for tourists planning to visit the country.

 

There are ways to make your stay cheaper and make a tight holiday budget last longer. Oslo has many free museums, and you can choose bars and areas with cheaper beer than the popular tourist places. You can also make use of good offers like the Oslo Pass.
