Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Getting to the apartment
The best is to walk from Oslo S (the central station) to the apartment, as it is actually very close (6-7 minutes).
Cómo moverse
Getting around in the city
When getting around, I recommend using the feet, but if you have to use transport, then the tram (Trikken) or the underground (T-banen) are good solutions. Actually once you get outside the most central stops on the T-bane, most of the journey is over ground, so you get a view.
Cómo moverse
Car
Whatever you do, just don't arrive with a car, as it is pretty impossible to park in the city center.
Qué empacar
Clothes for Norway
Norway has huge temperature mood swings, It can be pretty warm in the winter and extremely cold in the summer too. So just prepare yourself for anything. Warm clothes are always nice and can come handy. There is an old saying in Norway that "There is never bad weather, just bad clothes"
