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.

Oslo Opera House E-mail

The new Oslo Opera House is now nearly finished and is a nice piece of modern architecture on this part of the harbour, wich will also be modernized. Soon you will be able to walk around on the white granite roof and enjoy the sea view.

But bring sunglasses and watch your step! In sunligh, the white marble reflects the sun and makes it impossible to see unexpected steps. many people have broken limbs tripping here.
