There is a lot to do in Oslo: the city houses fascinating museums, lively art galleries and has an excellent connection to the landscape

We drove to Norway to see the northern light, but could not leave in the capital without a few nights. There are many interesting things to do in Oslo. The city houses a mixture of fascinating heritage, fascinating museums, living art galleries and excellent access to the landscape, all in the middle of a quiet location on the water.

Norway is the land of Vikings, polar research, the Nobel Prize and by Edvard Munch - and all of this can be seen in Oslo.

Below we offer tips and suggestions for the best activities in Oslo - and some that you should avoid on the go.

  1. buy an Oslo Pass that includes free admission to more than 30 museums and sights in Oslo as well as free ride on all public transport. The passport is available in three pieces:

    2. 24 hours: 335 NOK (40 USD) 48 hours: 490 NOK (58 USD) 72 hours: 620 NOK (74 USD) - we chose this

    1. make a fjord-sightseeing cruise to get an impression of the country (or sea). Just be aware that in winter it will probably be windy, wet and definitely cold, so get warm.

      1. Do not be fooled by the misleading posters around Oslo. The Munchmuseet does not hous the most famous version of Edvard Munch's scream. Instead, you will find the iconic painting in the Nasjonalmuseet.

      2. don't be ashamed to take a stupid photo in front of The Scream when you visit it. You won't be the first or last to do this.

        1. be ready to pay premium prices. Norway is an expensive travel destination in the best times and Oslo is his capital and its cosmopolitan center.

        2. don't fly to the airports Torp Sandefjord or Rygge if you can avoid it. Although the low-cost airlines fly to these airports, arrival and departure eats their time and budget. We recommend using Oslo Wardermoen (Oslo Lufthavn) if possible.

        3. Do a hike in the surrounding landscape. The extensive network of Osloer hiking trails can be easily reached with the city's subway system.

          1. take a walk on the grounds of the Akershus fortress and enjoy the panoramic view of the city and the Oslofjord.

            1. Take into account the seasons before visiting Oslo. Not only the weather is noticeably different, opening times and transport options also change from season to season. From late autumn the ferries no longer drive, buses are the only alternative.
            2. Visit the Bygdøy peninsula, where there are several remarkable museums, including the Kon Tiki, Fram, the Viking ship and the Norwegian folklore museum. All are 15 minutes' walk apart.

              1. don't overlook the Nobel Peace Center. The center houses a number of fascinating exhibitions as well as a cozy café and a shop.

              2. Don't forget to take a walk through the calm and relaxing parks around the royal palace. We were there in autumn when the leaves were yellow and it was really very nice.

                1. Use the excellent Visit Oslo Visitor Center and the Ruters Customerenter. Both are in the city center and are full of helpful and friendly staff.

                2. take the time to stroll through the city center and to admire the countless historical buildings, monuments and works of art that are scattered throughout the city.

                  1. don't stay too far from the middle. Oslo is a very pedestrian -friendly city that, if possible, is best explored on foot.

                  2. Explore the fairly chic area of ​​Aker Brygge along the waterfront. There are numerous shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy, an excellent view of the Oslofjord and it doesn't cost anything to stroll along the Kai and enjoy the fresh sea air.

                    1. Take a look around, inside and on the Oslo opera house. Even if you do not intend to watch a performance, the building is fascinating; It is the first opera house in the world to enter it on the roof! Guided tours are also offered.

                      1. Finally, don't worry about the language barrier - everyone speaks English! (Although we always recommend learning a few basics.)

                        activities in Oslo: The essentials

                        Was: activities in Oslo, Norway.

                        Where: We stayed in the Scandic Vulkan Hotel, a modern and environmentally friendly hotel in the pulsating district of Vulkan, not far from the center of Oslo. The hotel is Norway's first hotel in energy class A - which means that it produces almost all of its energy itself.

                        The stylish rooms have room-high windows with a view of the surrounding quarters, while breakfast-complete with waffle iron and cappuccino machines-is plentiful!

                        Right next door is the Mathallen Food Hall with a series of boutique restaurants and bars as well as the Akerselva river, which is perfect for walks after breakfast.

                        When: For the best weather, spring and summer (May to August) are the best time to travel for Oslo. Outside of the season, you can expect the days to be cold and wet under dark sky.

                        The ferries no longer drive from late autumn, buses are the only alternative. Although the buses drive regularly, they are by no means as pleasant as the ferries and offer far more secular views.

                        like: We flew from London to Oslo with a low -cost airline. Book via Skyscanner at the best prices.

                        Oslo is flown in by three airports: Gardermoen, Torp Sandefjord and Rygge. If possible, we recommend using wardrobes because the other two are further away and require a longer and more expensive transfer. All airports are hit by trains and buses. For more information, see the Visit Oslo.
