Hire a car in Oslo
Once a far off aloof northern city, Oslo
has become an electric and easy-going capital.
Norway’s hub of power and Scandinavian style, no other city in the country comes close to the
same size. Oslo has transformed itself into a showpiece of modern glass covered buildings,
buzzing with an avant-garde culture. Inset around the scenic Oslofjord and surrounded by
lush forests, there’s no chance of forgetting the natural pleasures that lay just beyond the
city.
To understand the Norwegian lifestyle, you must discover the country’s vast
and diverse landscapes. Drive along the fjords, over undulating bridges and through
never-ending tunnels, for a truly unique experience. Plot your Oslo road trip and search for
your perfect car hire with easyCar.
Sights to see
The bright, fresh and friendly capital of Norway, Oslo is a great place to visit for a city
break, or as a stop off point before heading deeper into the Norwegian countryside. With a
leafy, attractive urban centre and a lively bar and pub scene, Oslo is a great place to
start when visiting Norway.
Things to do in Oslo
Clean, crisp and cosy, Oslo is a compact city with a pleasing lack of congestion. Norwegian
air and a series of well-maintained parks, such as the sculpture-filled Vigeland Park, give
the city and its inhabitants a glowing health and vitality. The Frogner district has some
interesting architecture and historical sites, while excellent museums and galleries can be
found across the pleasant, leafy centre. The Akershus Slot and Festning is a medieval
fortress built in 1300 and a fascinating castle to wander around. In the summer, theatre and
music productions are hosted in the grounds. The Viking Ship Museum, or Vikingskipshuset, is
a must for anyone even mildly interested in Viking history. With 1000-year-old remains of
huge wooden burial ships, it’s an enthralling place to spend an afternoon.
Oslo: Discover more
The easiest way to explore this diverse, magnificent country is by rental car. From Oslo, you
