All kind of consumer products, restaurants expense, hotels bills and all other expenses are remain extremely costly in the city of Oslo, even it also costly during the quiet off-season of the tourism. On an average, the living cost of Oslo almost 40 percent higher than the New York City of America except rent

That is why, you have to think seriously before visiting this legendary city, because no doubt that, it will dig deep into your wallet. Expense of this city may make you want to avoid it. However, I think it would not be wise to avoid this panorama only for cost cutting. Be remember, to get something special you have to leave something also.

Opera & Ballet of Oslo - an award-winning architecture

There are many ways to cut off costs while visiting the city. To keep your wallet save when confronted with steep restaurant prices, try thinking outside the box when you deciding where you go to eat. For an example, instead of seeking restaurant recommendations from your resident hotel lobby, please talk with locals to find the best bargains. On the other hand, you can purchase food from the local grocery store also, instead of eating breakfast in the hotel restaurant. However, mass transit may still be somewhat pricey but of course; it will be cheaper than taxi. Try getting to know well about the local transit system before you go Oslo. This kind of planning will help you to save your money and enjoy the traveling with your capacity as well.
