Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Oslo.
City Overview
Oslo is Norway’s capital — a green, high-tech, high-welfare city ringed by fjords, made wealthy by the world’s largest oil sovereign fund. Maritime, energy, tech and design industries thrive; the Opera House and museums (the Munch) are landmarks. Living and housing costs are among the world’s highest, but incomes are high, nature is close and it is very safe — Norway’s economic, political and cultural center.
