If you are planning on doing some sightseeing in Oslo, I recommend you buy the Oslo Card. The price is not bad at all (surprisingly), and public transport (ferries, buses, trains, trams; that alone costs over 60 NOK - $10 - for 24 hours) is included, as well as the entrance fees to all the major sights and museums. If you're only going to 2-3 museums and will be using public transport for more than 3 trips, you get good value for money. See VisitOslo.com  for more info on all sights and activities in Oslo and how to get there. Also check out the travel planner in Oslo, trafikanten.no (click on the British flag on the bottom left side of the page for information in English), which helps you find the right bus/tram/ferry to where you want to go.

Take the metro up to Holmenkollen and check out the old ski jump (they're thinking of replacing it, as it actually doesn't have an elevator!) with the ski museum, see the magnificent view of Oslo from up there or go hiking in the tranquil woods near Frognerseteren.
