It's unlikely that anyone can call a vacation in Oslo inexpensive - the prices here can be quite high.
Even a residence in a hostel for one will cost at least 27 EUR per night. If you plan to dine in local restaurants, you'll have to pay 260-300 NOK for one meal. In total, for those going on vacation for two in Oslo, only a three-day stay will cost at least 160-165 EUR.
And, of course, a full-fledged vacation in Oslo involves getting around the city and visiting local sights. Add to your costs the price of tickets for transport (starting from 30 NOK for a single trip per person) and various museums/galleries, which average around 70-100 NOK per adult.
For those looking to make their Oslo vacation as budget-friendly as possible, experienced travelers' reviews recommend focusing on free attractions and walking. To save money on food, you can buy groceries and cook on your own. If you're traveling with a group or a family, consider renting a cottage near the city. Renters offer cozy accommodations for up to 6 people (with parking, a kitchen, and a sauna) for reasonable rates, starting from 600 EUR per week.
