Oslo - Post Report Question and Answers

Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?

I think so but it's easier than in most European cities. They do try here. - Dec 2022


Yes. - May 2021


There seem to be a lot of accommodations for physical disabilities. - Jan 2020


Yes. Not all trams are wheelchair accessible and the sidewalks are icy during winter. - Dec 2016


You'd need to choose your location carefully - relying on public transportation might work well with the t-bane and even the buses, but some tram lines are not handicapped accessible at all. - Dec 2015


Yes, although they try to make streets, sidewalks and public transportation accessible, many places (and even the tram system) are old and would make ease of access and getting around hard. - Jun 2015


Generally OK, but the city is hilly in spots. - May 2013


It is not as wheelchair accessible as the U.S. In the winter, many people do not clear their sidewalks, so there is always a problem with black ice. - Aug 2011


Similar to most modern, European cities. - Jun 2009
