Oslo is a beautiful city with a rich history and a good mix of old and modern architecture. A lot of the sights worth seeing are easily reachable from the city center, usually by walking. If walking is too far then the city has an enormous network of public transportation, so you can go by bus, train, tram, subway, ferry, scooters, taxis, uber, bolt, you name it they have it. Most sights outside of the city core are usually maximum 15 minutes away by any means of transportation.
