This is the place to purchase your Oslo Pass that will admit you to most all of the museums and many of the local attractions in Oslo. Any tram line seems to intersect in this major central junction of busses and trams. And you are deep into the center of Oslo, so much surrounds you. The employees all speak English, along with many other languages. You get a number and wait your turn. The employees will give you suggestions, maps and other handouts that will be useful for your stay in Oslo. This should be one of your first tourist destinations. read more

Being anywhere you're not familiar with can be a little unnerving, especially if that place is a foreign country, fortunately, the Oslo Visitor Centre, located, right next to the train station, makes your travel experience more than pleasant. I stopped here twice: 1. If you want an Oslo Pass which can be purchased in increments of 24/48 hours, you can purchase them right at the Visitor Centre, instead of purchasing in advance. 2. I needed to exchange money- I had Swedish Kroner, not Norwegian Kroner, ask questions about a tour I was on, and confirmed the location of the places I was visiting that day. Things to note: - Make sure to press the button to take a number, if not, you'll be waiting awhile. - Go first thing in the morning when they open. My first experience went much quicker since I was on of the first people there. - Make sure the guides you are using are in your native language. - They do not charge a fee to exchange monies. - There is free wifi in the Centre. If it's your first time in Oslo, this is definitely a place you'll want to visit, if not frequent to ensure you have an amazing time in this wonderful place. read more

The Oslo Pass was a total let down. Most of the museums are closed on Monday which would have been helpful to know before buying a pass which was useless. Would have been a lot cheaper to pay admission for the only museum open and get a 24 hour public transport pass. read more

The Oslo pass was a hard sell with promises of so much value. However, I realized right away that I had made a mistake buying a 3 day pass. Many of the places they listed as free with the pass are free anyway. Children are also free or very inexpensive nearly everywhere, so it was a loss getting one for my child. If you already have transportation another loss of value. If you get it on a Sunday or Monday when nearly everything is closed another loss. I reached out for help through the chat online at the visitor center and was misled to the point that I really felt it was purposefully unhelpful and time wasting and they must surely hate tourist there. Everything else during my 2 weeks in Oslo was functional and lovely, but I would just stay away from this place. read more

The Oslo Pass...BUY IT! Even if you only have one full day in Oslo, you'll save tons of money.

But besides the Folk Museum, we didn't need more than an hour in each, and they're all within easy reach as Oslo is a very compact. There also a 2 or 3 day pass available for not much more. The Oslo Pass...BUY IT! read more

I bought a 24 hour Oslo Pass in the afternoon, hoping to go to museums before my early morning flight the day after. But it turns out those were closed. And when I came back to Visitor Center and told them, they said:"No refunds" read more

do not use the bike rental system the bikes are crap and they will lock you out of your bike miles from the center and keep your deposit if you dont return the smart cards or the bikes to the center even though there are drop locations everywhere. read contract and don't lose card or not take bikes back to center. read more
