Book a hotel in Oslo

Planning your stay in Oslo means finding the perfect base to explore its modern architecture, Viking history, and beautiful fjords. Whether you are looking for a boutique hotel in Grünerløkka or a luxurious stay near the Royal Palace, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about booking accommodation in the Norwegian capital.

Discover Oslo, a city where modern architecture meets rich Viking history and beautiful fjords. Renowned for its commitment to sustainability and innovative design, Oslo offers a distinct blend of cultural experiences and natural beauty. Explore the impressive Vigeland Sculpture Park, home to over 200 bronze and granite works by Gustav Vigeland, or immerse yourself in maritime history at the Fram Museum, showcasing polar exploration. The Royal Palace, with its surrounding park, provides a tranquil escape in the city centre.

A visit to the Oslo Opera House is a must, not just for performances but for walking on its sloping roof, offering panoramic views of the fjord. The Munch Museum, dedicated to Edvard Munch's masterpieces, including *The Scream*, provides a deep dive into Norwegian art. Whether you are seeking a city break or a longer stay, Oslo's compact size makes it easy to explore its diverse neighbourhoods, from the historic Bygdøy peninsula to the contemporary waterfront of Aker Brygge. You will find a range of options for accommodation, ensuring a comfortable base for your adventures.

When planning your stay in Oslo, consider booking your hotel in the city centre. This area offers excellent connections to public transport and easy access to many of the city's main attractions, making it a popular choice for first-time visitors.

The city centre is home to the Oslo Central Station, making it convenient for arrivals. Here you will find a range of accommodation, from budget-friendly options to more upscale hotels. Key landmarks in this bustling area include the Oslo Opera House, the Royal Palace, and the National Theatre. You can also explore Karl Johans gate, the main pedestrian street, and visit the Parliament of Norway.

Just west of the city centre, Frogner is an upscale residential district known for its elegant buildings and quieter streets. Accommodation here tends to be more boutique or apartment-style. Frogner Park, home to the Vigeland Sculpture Park, is a major draw. The Nobel Peace Center is also within easy reach.

For those interested in a more vibrant, diverse atmosphere, Grünerløkka in the east is a good option. This trendy neighbourhood offers a mix of apartment hotels and design-led stays. It is known for its green spaces, like Sofienberg Park, and its relaxed vibe. The Munch Museum is also nearby.

When selecting your hotel, consider transport links. Oslo has an efficient public transport system, including buses, trams, and the T-bane (metro). Most areas mentioned are well-served, providing easy access to all parts of the city. For airport connections, the Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL) is the main international airport, easily reachable by the high-speed Airport Express Train (Flytoget) or regional trains to Oslo Central Station. Sandefjord Airport Torp (TRF) is further south and offers bus connections to the city centre.

Booking your Oslo hotel doesn't have to break the bank. Consider visiting outside of peak summer months (June-August) to find better rates. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer cooler weather and lower prices, with the added benefit of seeing Oslo's autumn foliage or spring blossoms. If your travel dates are flexible, aim for mid-week stays as weekends are often more expensive, particularly when there are major events or festivals. Booking in advance can also secure better deals, especially for popular areas like Frogner or Grunerløkka.

To save even more, explore hotels slightly further from the city centre, perhaps in areas with excellent public transport links, such as those along the efficient T-bane metro lines that stretch into the surrounding boroughs. You can also look for accommodation that offers self-catering options, allowing you to save on dining out, though Oslo’s extensive street food scene, particularly at places like Vippa, offers good value.
