Situated in southern Norway, Oslo has a remarkably compact city centre supplied with many museums and galleries for you to wade through during your stay. On first impressions one observation i made is how much of the city has been able to retain its medieval layout, which now incorporate acres of beautiful parks for you to enjoy and relax in.
I stayed at the Anker hostel, which is located in the busy Karl Johan district and is very popular with younger travelers aged between 18 and 25. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the city centre and nightlife. 
Private rooms will set you back around £40 per night with ensuite and safe deposit box. The Hostel was clean, tidy with friendly staff and good atmosphere. There’s a common room to chill out in and also Internet access for a small fee.
The Rådhus or City Hall as we know it, lies midway between the Royal Palace and Akershus Slott, and is a great starting point for many of the walks and trails which lead you around the city. One of the most popular sights is the Vigeland Sculpture Park, which is located on the eastern edge of town; this is a great spot to stop off for some lunch as there are often local shows and events being held (weather permitting).
For the artists out there make sure to visit the Munch museum which is home to a vast collection of the Norwegian artists work. Entrance to the museum costs around £7 and make sure to enquire about opening times before heading over, as the museum can sometimes be closed due to exhibit changes.
The peninsula of Bygdøy is another location to spend an afternoon. It’s a short ferry ride away from the City Hall and is home to The Viking Ship Museum which is one of two buildings comprising the Museum of Cultural History.
Oslo is a beautiful picturesque city with plenty to offer, it’s a great destination to spend a long weekend away. However it’s not ideal for travelers on a tight budget, as dining out can be extremely expensive, with drinks costing around £5 in some bars.
