the airport roughly hourly.

Boat 62 connects Oslo with Drøbak (Nkr90, 1½ hours, 10am weekdays, 10am and 3pm
weekends) and other Oslofjord stops en route: Ildjernet, Langåra and Håøya (which is a
holiday spot offering fine swimming and camping). It departs from

BUS & TRAM
Bus and tram lines lace the city and extend into the suburbs. There's no central local bus
station, but most buses converge at Jernbanetorget in front of Oslo S. Most westbound
buses, including those to Bygdøy and Vigeland Park, also stop immediately south of the
Nationaltheatret.
The frequency of service drops dramatically at night, but on weekends, night buses N12,
N14 and N18 follow the tram routes until 4am or later; there are also weekend night buses
(201 to 218).
Tickets for trips in zone 1 (most of the city centre) cost adult/child Nkr30/15 if bought
from a sales point in advance (ticket machine, 7-Eleven, Narvesen and Trafikanten) or
adult/child Nkr50/25 if bought on the bus or tram.
Oslo Pass
holders can travel for free on
all daytime lines in the city centre.
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
Oslo has its share of one-way streets, which can complicate city driving a bit, but the
streets are rarely as congested as in most other European cities.
Metered street parking, identified by a solid blue sign with a white 'P', can be found
throughout the city. Payment is usually required from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and
until 3pm Saturday. At other times, parking is free unless otherwise posted. The city centre
also has 16 multistorey car parks, including those at Oslo City and Aker Brygge shopping
