For 60 Krone you can get a pass for 24 hours which you can use on buses, trams, the metro and ferries. Especially good is to take a "mini cruise" around the islands in the bay. Also go up the hill on metro Line 1 to Frognerseteren for great views over the city.

Avoid using the Airport Express Train (flytoget) from the airport to the city. Instead use the local train which is half the price and takes only an extra six minutes.

The flexicard cost me KR160 (about £15) and could be used for 8 trips at anytime. Each time I hopped on the bus (or tram or boat) the ticket was stamped and was valid for one hour. A normal ticket would have cost me KR30 just for one trip into the city centre from Rislakka, about 20 minutes away. (KR11 = about £1 - April 2006)

These can be bought on the bus from the driver, or at numerous outlets all over the city of Oslo.

From any station in the city centre, hop on tube line 1 in the direction of Frognerseteren, and watch in awe as the train leaves Oslo behind, zigzags its way up into the forested hills and stops at the top. Spectacular. If you have plenty of time, walk down to Lake Sognsvann, and take tube no 5 back to town.

The super-quick Flytoget train leaves every 10 minutes and takes around 20 minutes to get into central Oslo (160 kroner) - Stansted Express take note. Alternatively, the Scandinavian Airlines leaves for the city centre every 20 minutes, the journey takes 40 minutes (100 kroner one-way, 160 kroner return).
