Congrats on deciding to live in Oslo! You may have heard lots of different stories about life in Oslo, and most of them are probably true in some way or the other. Yes, Norwegians can be cold and reserved (especially at first), but in Oslo there are people from all over Norway (and the rest of the world) looking to meet new friends and experience something new. Yes, Oslo is increasingly filling up with beggars, drug addicts and prostitutes (as other capitals have been for decades), but they mostly stay in secluded areas in Oslo and won’t bother you if you know where to go. And yes, Oslo is a city very close to beautiful nature and lots of space and wildlife, but I dare say it has all the facilities you might expect from a modern capital, only in a somewhat smaller scale, perhaps! |

Hotels and hostels in Oslo Yes, accommodation in Oslo is also expensive. There are few hostels (Anker and the YMCA are quite central, Haraldsheim is a bit further away) in Oslo, so it's a good idea to book in advance! |

Getting an apartment at hybel.noUnfortunately, this site is in Norwegian only, but I hope my illustrations will help you. As most Norwegians speak English, you can just call the contact person and ask for further details then. |

Camping in Oslo There are a few camping sites in Oslo that may wel be the cheapest option during high season. You may also camp anywhere in the forest at least 150 meters from the nearest private property. |

Getting an apartment at Finn.no
Another site in Norwegian only, I'm afraid. Again I hope my illustrations help you find a nice place to live. Just call the contact person and explain your situation. |
