Norway’s enchanting capital, Oslo never fails to capture the hearts of visitors. It’s a place where the charms of the past blend seamlessly with the thrills of modern life, where the natural beauty of fjords and mountains contrast with a bustling city life, and where visitors can enjoy cultural attractions ranging from museums and galleries to exciting shopping and dining destinations. Oslo’s far from the biggest city in Europe, but your experience of the city can vary wildly depending on where you stay. From lively areas like Frogner and Aker Brygge to quieter neighborhoods that’ll make you feel like a local, these are the Oslo Airbnbs to book.
We hope you love these Oslo Airbnbs! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
A quick walk from Oslo’s central station, this one-bedroom apartment is the perfect base to take in the city, from strolling along the Akerselva river, to touring the botanical garden a five-minute walk away, to shopping at the Oslo City or Byporten mall, to soaking up the sights along the Karl Johans Gate, the main street that runs through the city. Back at the Airbnb, you’ll find a comfortable bedroom that’s perfect for a couple, a recently renovated bathroom with a washer and dryer if you need one, and modern electronics with a variety of streaming services to enjoy during your downtime.

This one-bedroom apartment has the best of both worlds — or both sides of Oslo, at least — being located on a serene street that’s a mere five-minute walk from the most energetic spots in the city.
