Oslo Travel Guide

While in Oslo, check out the local pub "London Pub" located at C J Hambros plass 5 in Oslo city centre

Stay a while! Oslo is a great place but can seem a little grey on first sight. But this is just on the surface. This is just the colour of the buildings, and the fact that they don´t seem to mind about Grafitti. It takes some time to get past this, but then something happens, it grows on you, shows more colours. If you just want a whistle-stop tour of the tourist hot-spots you can do it in a day but you won´t know what the place is like. I know you could say that about any city, but it´s especially true for Oslo. A lot of the people who live here love that you have the sea and the woods almost on your doorstep, and there always seems to be something going on if you take an aimless walk. So take some time at least to go to the woods, to take a boat to the islands on the fjord, to walk through and sit in some parks.

10 things you must do in Oslo. 1. Take the Boat from Copenhagen to Oslo (1 way) get up early for great view of the sailing into the Fjord to Oslo. 2. Visit the Royal Palace. 3. Old City Hall (quite unique and not to everybody's taste...judge yourself) 4. Take a trip to Holmenkolmen (Skii-jump) great view from there. 5. Viking ship museum 6. Kon Tiki museum 7. Vigelandsparken (for a relaxing day) 8. Aker Brygge for your food and expensive but great beer. 9. Karl Johansgate is the Main street with lots and lots of people you can sit and watch. 10. Make sure you get a Norwegian sweater they are truely great and can be used all over the world. Make sure you shop around for them (price). Enjoy Oslo set in the beautiful fjord with amazing mountains surroundings.
