Choosing where to stay in Oslo shapes the trip more than most visitors realise. The city is compact — you can walk across the centre in 20 minutes — but each neighbourhood has its own rhythm, price level and personality. This guide is written by locals at Alpakkavandring, the original Norwegian alpaca farm experience just outside Oslo, and includes a tip most guidebooks miss: the unusual 45-minute day trip that turns a normal Oslo city break into something people actually remember.
