Come here to relax and shop.

Took the train in and out of Oslo Sentral last week and it was a quick and easy experience. The…read morelocal commuter train from the airport took 25 minutes and it was easy.

The Oslo Sentralstasjon is the train station in the center of the city. If you're planning to take…read morepublic transit or travel throughout the country, with Oslo en route, you will make a stop or start or end here at Oslo Sentralstasjon. I was so impressed by this train station, reminding me that America once again lags in public transit systems. I recommend getting an accommodation walking distance to the Oslo sentralstasjon if you're visiting and planning to travel throughout the country. My experience here every time was pleasant. I first arrived to this station from the airport, taking a dedicated train service that gets you directly from the Oslo airport to here. Then I had to visit the train station again when I was traveling westward from Oslo. Make it a point to be nearby this train station for your trip planning. The train station is very clean and easy to navigate. There are signs everywhere of train departure times and locations and it's in English. There were also plenty of places to sit, relax and lots of eateries in the station and nearby. Many hotels are also next to this train station, and there's an area for car pick-up, taxis, etc. I was pleased to have this station so accessible for my Norway vacation, making it easy and pleasant to travel around.

High school kids and mothers would love this place lol. This is some of the cheapest shopping I…read moremanaged to do in Noway considering how expensive everything is to people coming from the US. I say mothers would love this place because there is tons of cooking/home good stuff for them to shop and look at. From the first floor to on the top floor is a cheap home good place that kind of reminded me of ikea. There is a sporting store if you need to shop for winter stuff for the family, and a grocery store so you can get your grocery shopping done. High school kids girls and boys would love this place because all the clothes stores (or at least basically all but the few sporting clothing stores) are aimed towards them. Cheap, fashionable clothes in general. For people coming from the US think like h&m and mango. A lot of cute cafes/restaurants to meet up with friends after or before shopping to get a quick bite of ice cream. There is even a burger king but beware people from the US of the price, it might make you jump lol. parking is outdoors and free for a few hours, after that apparently you have to pay but i never saw anyone pay lol. There is a parking garage also. Overall, I think teenage kids and their mothers (or any young person just buying a house and need to buy stuff for it) would love this place.

It's table service & you sit in the section you want to try. I had the lobster slider, truffle cheese slider & "posh chips" which had truffle powder & parmesan cheese. Very tasty.

Arkaden Shopping is an indoor shopping mall located on Karl Johans Gate. The good thing about this…read moreshopping mall is that on those rainy Oslo days, which sometimes can be often, you can get a reprieve from the rain and stay dry while you shop in the multi-level mall. The bad thing is, it's indoors and their isn't a lot of signage indicating that there is a mall inside. On my trip to Oslo, I walked by this place almost every day while I was there and it wasn't until my last full day that one of the stores, which was closest to the door, caught my eye. I walked it and said, "well, hell, it's a mall!" So from there I looked around. The downside to me is that there isn't really much in here that isn't nearby. Yeah, everything is in the mall so it's in a closer proximity, but I could find this stores many other places and while the weather is nice, you want to be outside while you're in Oslo and I imagine that locals feel that way too. I think the set up is kind of odd too. I felt like I was circling around randomly just to get up and down to the various stories. Okay overall. If you're visiting, I wouldn't really recommend it because there are better shopping options. I'm sure it's perfectly fine for a local. Or if you're looking to kill some time this is a perfectly fine place to do so!

There are some great shops here in all price ranges for clothes, shoes, bags, even gourmet coffee.
