By plane: Land on Gardermoen. Take the train to town (express (19 minutes) or regular (a little slower)). Get of at Oslo Sentralstasjon (Central Station)
Walk. The city center isn't that big.

An alternative to walking is using the subway (T-bane). It is an easy and reliable way of getting around. You can also take the Tram (Trikk). If you understand a little norwegian you can visit Trafikantens homepages (below) for information about lines and sceduals. I haven't found any english translation of these sites, Sorry.

A good tip if you're not traveling outside the city limits: DON'T RENT A CAR. If you do, you'll find yourselves lost in one way streets, closed streets, no entries, road work and the like. And if you against all odds should find the way, you'll have problem finding a parking space.
