PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. APP CALLED RUTER
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION has an easy use app called RUTER which contains the train-, tram-, bus- & ferrys timetables. In this app you also buy your ticket.
You can also try these for transport:
Renting a bike: https://oslobysykkel.no/en/how-it-works
Renting an e-scooter or e-bike from Voi. You need an app for that.
TAXI IS EXPENSIVE...
But if you are lucky you can get a ride for pretty cheap.
Most common ones are Uber and Bolt. Bolt is almost always cheaper than Uber.
If you can get a 10-minute ride for 200-250NOK (approx 20-25€), that is considered cheap.

GOOD RESTAURANTS
If you feel like eating asian food, we recommend checking out these places:
Koie Ramen.
Hrimnir Ramen.
For sushi, we highly recommend going to Sabi Sushi. Hands down the best sushi in Oslo. A little bit expensive, but it's worth it.
If you want cheaper asian fusion meal, try Sumo restaurants.
Dim Sum by Taste of China. Super nice restaurant if you want to try Dim Sums! Amazing customer service.
If you feel like eating italian:
Lofthus Samvirkelag. They have pizzerias all over Oslo. Just google them and go to the closest one. Recommend trying their beef or raindeer pizza.
Trattoria Popolare. Amazing italian place! Their pasta is pasting!
If you want something Spanish:
La Sangria. Authentic Spanish food. Their tapas is delish!
TXOTX. Pintxos Bar.
If you feel like eating burgers:
Kverneriet. Amazing burgers!
Illegal Burger
If you want something Norwegian (and you like fish)
