Oslo Central Station (also known as "Oslo S train station") is the main rail station in the Norwegian capital, serving a wide range of domestic and international routes. It was built on Jernbanetorget Square next to the old Oslo East Station. It was decided not to demolish the building of the Osle East station but build a new modern facility close by instead. Both of the rail stations were connected via the Oslo Tunnel, resulting in the biggest railway hub in the country. Each of the buildings also house big malls, providing fantastic shopping and entertainment opportunities.
