Jernbanetorget 1 Oslo 0154 Norway +47 23 15 0000 http://www.nsb.no |
If you are coming via the Flytoget express from Gardermoen Airport, this will be your entrance into the city. The main railway station by Jernbanetorget square, at the eastern end of Karl Johan street, also provides tourist information, from Monday to Saturday 8am to 5pm. The OsloCard is on sale here, and they can assist with hotel reservations and currency exchange. The station is of course the centre for the main domestic (local and Intercity) and international railway connections, as well as the terminus for the Airport train to Gardermoen. The adjacent shopping centre, Byporten, can be accessed directly from the main gallery. On the southern side you will find Østbanehallen, the old part of the station that has now been converted into a small shopping arcade. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you want to walk in Oslo, check out Park- og Idrettsvesnet's (the park and sports department of Oslo) maps with suggested walks in the east and west sides of Oslo. There are also maps of the islands and the forests that surround Oslo, with tour suggestions and places of interest marked on the maps. These maps are free; inside Norway you can get them mailed to you by calling and leaving your address. Most of the guides are only written in Norwegian, but walking in the forest you will most probably meet many nice and helpful people, keen to lend a hand. These maps are beautiful openings to the city, your investment will be your feet and your curiosity. Review © 2007, Wcities |
