Oslo is one of the most beautiful cities in the world...and also one of the most expensive! But as we explain in this episode, there's a reason for Oslo's costs. Great food, beautiful scenery, friendly people...Oslo has it all!

Oslo Travel Guide: Things to do in Oslo as a Tourist
Top Sightseeing locations to visit in Oslo, Norway. Including Downtown Oslo, The Royal Castle, museums, Vigelandsparken, Holmenkollen, and more.
The exact locations are listed at the end of the description.
The Oslo Opera:
Do this one! The opera building is adjacent to the central station, and it's awesome. It's architecture is like walking on an iceberg, and it overlooks the Oslo fjord and Akershus Castle. Doesn't take much time.
Karl Johans gate:
The main walking street that connects Central Station (Oslo S) with the Royal Castle. I guess it's a must when you come to Oslo. You can't avoid it, and you shouldn't! Because it's the main street of Oslo. But Karl Johan is mostly for the tourists, beggars, scammers. People that live in Oslo, like me, hardly ever go there.
Royal Castle:
It's quite small compared to other royal castles because Norway was a poor country when it was built. But it's still a nice place to walk through on your way to Bogstadveien or to spend half an hour.
Akershus Castle:
This is a nice medieval castle at the center of Oslo, overlooking the Oslo fjord, and Aker brygge. Very nice for sunsets, and after a day in Oslo sentrum or Aker Brygge. There is also a free military museum and a cheap WWII resistance museum here.
Aker Brygge:
These are the Oslo docks which have been redeveloped into a posh private restaurant/bar/shopping area. Nice for a walk, and plenty of places to sit down and watch people or the magnificent view of Akershus Castle. There's also a modern art museum here if that's your thing. If you do go to the modern art museum, be sure go all the way to the top terrace, where you find an even better view of Aker Brygge, the fjord and Akershus Castle.
Museum Island/Peninsula (Bygdøy):
This is where most of the museums are, including the Viking Ship Museum, Kon Tiki, Maritime Museum, Folk Museum. But be aware that it takes a day, and it's quite a detour, there's not much else to do there. If I had to pick one, I would do the Viking Ship museum and maybe the adjacent Folk Museum.
Vigelandsparken/Frognerparken:
This sculpture park is very good, and very large. During summer this is a continuous party/BBQ, but in wintertime you will find mostly joggers and dog walkers. Do this park if naked stone people are your thing. Pro tip: The Oslo City museum is in the park, and its FREE!
Holmenkollen/Frognerseteren:
Holmenkollen is a giant ski-jump on a mountain overlooking Oslo. There is also the ski-museum and ski-stuff around here. Metro line 1 runs all the way to Frognerseteren and there is a cafe/restaurant close to the wilderness where you can overlook Oslo.
Ekebergåsen:
This is a lookout point close to Oslo, overlooking the city. If you are thinking of going to Frognerseteren for the view only, you should go here instead. Much closer to the city, so you get a better view and travel time is less, this is a nice spot to watch the sunset.
Some Pro Tips:
If you want to see the fjord for cheap, go to the beginning of Aker Brygge, and take the ferry (B10) to Nesodden and back again (don't get of). You will have a great view of Akershus Castle, Aker Brygge, numerous islands and the fjord.
The RuterReise app for live public transportation time tables or planning, or just use Google maps, there's another RuterBillett app for purchasing tickets with a credit card on your phone, but I think it's only in Norwegian. Then there is the website for trip planning.
Uber app, works quite well, and is half price of normal taxi

HOW TO GET FROM OSLO AIRPORT TO CITY CENTER
#Distantlands #Norway #traveltips
Nestled between pristine forest and a fjord, Oslo is a compact city that is an easy jumping off place to explore all of Scandinavia. So after flying into this gem of a city, how do you get from the airport to Oslo city center? That is easy.
Oslo's main airport is located in the town of Gardermoen, located 45 kilometers north of Oslo’s city center. Traveling between Oslo’s main airport at Gardermoen and the city center is easy. The cheapest and also one of the fastest ways to get to the city center is by hopping on the local train, but there other options including the Airport Express train, bus, and of course, taxi and ride share service.

Visiting the OSLO CHRISTMAS MARKETS in Norway
There are many Oslo Christmas markets open in December, and I spent a morning visiting some of my favorites! I stopped by Christmas in Winterland on Karl Johan, which includes ice skating at Spikersuppa Skating Rink, and the Christmas market at Youngstorget in a traditional lavvu style tent.
You can read more about my visit to the Oslo Christmas markets here:

Oslo, Norway: Fantastic Folk Museum
More info about travel to Oslo: The Norwegian Folk Museum keeps traditional culture alive for visitors to Norway's capital. Over 150 old buildings from all corners of the country have been reassembled in a sprawling park. Costumed guides demonstrate slices of rural and urban life, and, every hour through the day, a crowd gathers to enjoy performances of fiddle music and dance. Don't miss the evocative wooden stave church. Located on Oslo's Bygdøy Peninsula (where many museums are clustered) the folk museum is just a short bus ride or scenic boat trip from the center.

30 Secrets & Things to do in Oslo, Norway
My new Oslo Travel Guide includes these carefully selected 30 best things to do & best places to visit in Oslo, Norway which I visited during a warm summer weekend including gems like the Frogner Park, Viking Ship Museum, Whale Sushi, Stratos rooftop, eating black licorice ice cream and tips for the vibrant Oslo nightlife. Subscribe to my channel ► for weekly videos!
I did not have high expectations for Oslo but during this warm summer weekend the city offers many outdoor attractions, a great place to start is Aker Brygge to try the local delicacy Polse, a fancy hot dog rolled in bacon and injected with cheese than from Aker Brygge walk to the other popular attractions like the Royal Palace, Karl Johans Gate shopping street, Vippa, the Opera House or Sorenga Sjobad outdoor beach deck.
Oslo is the capital of Norway and its metropolitan area has a population of 1.5 million including their royal family since Norway is a kingdom and is the only country in the world with territories in both the Arctic and Antarctica.
Be smart and buy the OSLO PASS to save lots of money on attractions and transportation!
Oslo Pass: just $50 USD
Take the Oslo SUPER tour including the 2-hour cruise:
ONLY $40 USD

One important thing you must keep in mind; Oslo is extremely expensive and is rated one of the most expensive city in the world by Forbes Magazine, to give you an example, a simple hot dog will set you back $6 US dollars and that is considered on the cheap side.
In return for being an expensive city you get a very safe and easy going Scandinavian city experience. Public transit is easy to use and many signs and menus at restaurants are in English. The most bizarre dish I've had must have been the Brown Cheese Ice Cream for which you'll have to watch my Oslo video.
The Frogner Park must have been the most unique sculpture park I've ever been to, it is world's largest sculpture park by a single artist. Created by Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943 with incredible sculptures like the angry boy and consist out of 200 works.
My favorite museum in Oslo is the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History for having a lot of great performances, historic foods and snacks to try and the overall feeling like you got transported back to the Viking ages.
Out of the blue I received a Facebook message from my American buddy Andrew who was coincidentally stopping by Oslo on his way home from the Arctic Norwegian island Svalbard to the United States. I met up with him and his girlfriend at the famous fish restaurant Fiskeriet Youngtorget for the freshest Norwegian salmon I've ever tasted.
After lunch I took my friends to the Akershus Fortress for the best view of Oslo and a little historic tour through Norway's Resistance Museum which teaches about the Nazi occupation of Norway during WW2.
For dinner I wanted to try true Norwegian cuisine and luckily Rorbua on Aker Brygge is known for having some of the best dishes in town. I ordered the Tastes of Norway meat stick with meats; Whale, Deer, Beef & Reindeer. An incredible dish with as winner: Reindeer for being extremely juicy, this dish cost me around $45 US dollars and don't forget to add the typical Norwegian beer Hansa.
Before the night falls, grab a few cocktails at either the Magic Ice Bar for some Norwegian Ice Wine or on top of the Thief Rooftop patio for the most upscale cocktail bar in town.
In conclusion, Oslo is a great 2 to 3-day stop over during the summer to enjoy a few outdoor activities, learn about the history of Norway and make many new friends, especially during the weekend nightlife of Oslo but for that you'll have to read my next article.

The Great Escape to Oslo | VISIT NORWAY
When two travelling Kiwis found themselves trapped among selfie sticks in an overcrowded city, Oslo came to the rescue.
In Norway's capital they were served delicious food and wine, tried stand-up paddling on the Oslo Fjord, made use of Oslo's app-connected City Bikes, and last but not least, got to admire one of Munch's masterpieces completely undisturbed. So Marela and Sam's two days in Oslo were packed with experiences, but not with people.
Marela and Sam went to Bar Brutus, Himkok, the café at Astrup Fearnley Museet, Godt Brød Grünerløkka, Astral, Vippa Oslo, the National Gallery, Ekebergparken Sculpture Park and Blå. They stayed in an AirBnB accommodation in Barcode, used city bikes from Oslo Bysykkel, tried SUP with Aksel Kolstad (bookable through the Lokalii app), and went to a Sofar Sounds secret concert.
The rescue mission was made possible through The Great Escape – a collaboration organised through Oslo Brand Alliance, which includes Oslo Region, Oslo Business Region and VisitOSLO.

Norway Tourism: Places you SHOULD visit in Oslo
Norway Tourism: Places you SHOULD visit in Oslo
- Holmenkollen
- The Oslo Opera House
- The Royal Palace of Norway
- The City Center
- The Harbour
- Akershus Castle
Be sure to check Holmenkollen out. It houses the world's oldest ski museum- a place that has withheld the skiing tradition for more than a century. A ski jump hill or tower called Holmenkollbakken is yet another wonderful sight to see when visiting Holmenkollen.
The Oslo Opera House, the home of the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet should be a 'must visit' spot if you are planning to tour Oslo. It is a spectacular and unique structure that takes the shape of a flat ice-berg. Since it is located along the edge of Oslofjord (an inlet of seawater) it seems to look like it is emerging from water.
The magnificent view of the Royal Palace of Norway is something you absolutely cannot miss if you are hoping to take a tour of Oslo.
The City Center of Oslo is surrounded by Oslo's best-known buildings and landmarks: Akershus Fortress, the Royal Palace, the City Hall, the Parliament, and the Opera House. It also has an array of shops, cafés and restaurants. Starting your tour of Oslo here would thus be a smart choice ????
Oslo's Harbour is by far one of the greatest tourist attractions of Oslo. It offers you a breathtaking view of the ocean. The newly built Harbour Promenade gives you a combination of sightseeing, history, art, architecture and adventure. It stretches for 9km and takes you through different parts of the city. Taking a tour of Oslo via the Harbour Promenade would also be a different and exciting experience!
Akershus Castle and Fortress is also a spot you would long to check out if you are a lover of history and architecture. It was first used in battle in 1308 and is being used for military purposes to this day ???? These hotspots of Oslo, Norway would give you an idea of the culture and heritage of this wonderful capital. Don't miss out ????
