Oslo City — Attraction in Oslo

Oslo is an extraordinary city, a true gem of Northern Europe. It offers breathtaking landscapes, modern and functional architecture, world-class museums like the Munch Museum and the Fram Museum, and a unique connection to nature thanks to its fjords and vast green spaces. The quality of life is incredibly high: public transport is punctual and efficient, the streets are clean and safe, and the focus on environmental sustainability is evident everywhere. For outdoor enthusiasts, Oslo is a paradise: there are hiking trails, ski slopes, and even spots to swim during the summer months. It’s definitely a city I recommend everyone visit at least once in their lifetime.

However, while Oslo may seem like a dream as a tourist, the reality for those who move here to work can be very different. Despite having an excellent command of English (a language spoken by almost all Norwegians), finding a decent job is far from easy. Job opportunities for foreigners, especially if you don’t speak fluent Norwegian, are often limited to manual work such as cleaning or other low-level labor—assuming you’re even lucky enough to find these jobs. Sometimes, even in these fields, knowledge of Norwegian is required.

This situation is frustrating, especially for those who arrive with a degree, certifications, and substantial experience. You feel as though your qualifications and skills are completely disregarded. I’ve often heard Norwegians say: “If immigrants want to live here, at least they should find a job!” But the question is: how can we do so if the doors are closed? Foreigners don’t come to Norway to idle; we are ready to contribute, but we need real opportunities.

What I hope for the future is a concrete effort to provide foreigners with a chance at professional integration. Talent knows no borders, and recognizing the value of those who come with the willingness to work can only enrich a wonderful country like Norway.

In conclusion, Oslo and Norway are incredible places to visit, but those dreaming of living here must prepare for...

Oslo City is one of Oslo's largest shopping centers. The mall is located at Oslo and Oslo Plaza on the Vaterland . Oslo City owned by DnB Property is 79,791 square foot.

Ok, yeah, so I went to a mall while visiting another country. I had to check it out, not because I really wanted anything, but really, just to take a look around.

This place is massive! Ten stories, but I don't believe all ten store shops. I believe it's a mixed building with some businesses above it as well, but I couldn't figure it out for sure.

There are a variety of different shops here, but I found many of them to be not far from the mall, outside at many of the open-air shopping areas, so that was a negative- I would rather be outside, unless the weather isn't optimal.

Tourists- Do not come here expecting to use the bathroom for free. It will cost you 20 Kroner, that being said, it's not really monitored and I may or may not have just walked in without paying- sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right? Nothing happened to me, and I'm sure you'll be fine too, but just be ready.

If you for some reason need a Starbucks, there is one here. I grabbed some coffee mugs here from their collection and noticed it was a very slow location so maybe get a local roaster instead?

It's kind of pretty inside, if a mall can be pretty. I'd come here if the weather wasn't great, which it wasn't the day I walked inside. Definitely better sights to see here in Oslo, but if you're looking to escape the rain and clouds for a few hours, this will be an okay...

A lovely city visit yet VISITORS BEWARE .. many taxi drivers cheat on the metre and charge non locals multiples of the correct fare and it is not illegal! As an example one morning my trip to the centre by oslo cab was kr159 .. for the rxact same return I was asked for 320 kr !!! As I approached the hotel the driver incessantly pushed a button his meters increasing the price. As we approached the hotel. These taxis tend to have a white light on the roof with no markings on the sides. approached My hotel recommended I only use the app of oslo cabs. I got ripped off three times in as many days .. it is an unnessary and unwelcome stress on tourists the management of Oslo should address immediately. This is an element that can prevent visitors choosing to...
