Oslo - Getting Around
Public Transport
Some 50 separate bus lines and eight different tram lines cover the city. These can be boarded opposite Oslo S station on Jerbanetorget, with tickets available from the driver. The Oslo T-Bane consists of five underground lines. Tickets are available from vending machines at the various stations.
Båtservice Sightseeing A/S (tel: 2335 6890; website: www.boatsightseeing.com) operates seasonal ferries (April-October) from City Hall to Bygdøy Island, where many museums are situated. Other small ferries operate from Vippetangen, just behind Akershus Slott, to all the harbour basin islands.

Driving in the City
Another plus point for public transport is that parking is a nightmare in Oslo, with many places having a one- or even half-hour maximum stay. Illegal parking or overstaying the allotted time is dealt with severely - fines start at NOK500. Once a parking spot has been found, a ticket must be obtained from the on-street ticket machine and displayed in the vehicle windscreen. Controlled city centre street parking spots are free to Oslo Card holders (see Sightseeing). There are daytime car parks at C J Hambros Plass, Prinsens gate, Chr. Krohgsgate, Oslo Plaza, Asker Stasjon and Skøyen Stasjon.
