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.

The Resistance museum and Akershus Fortress The fortress itself is quite small, but interesting (it even has a ghost) and representative for the Norwegian life at the time it was built. The green areas are also nice for picnics or relaxing. The Resistance museum situated in the fortress tells the story of the very small, but valiant Norwegian resistance during WW2 (the most famous event was their sabotage mission at the Hydro Plant in Telemark, causing a major setback for the Nazis' A-bomb) and displays cool artefacts for smuggling microflms and other secrets. Definitely worth a visit! This beautiful winter picture shows the fortress as seen from AkerBrygge
