Oslo Reviews

After recently returning form a trip to Oslo, The capital city of Norway I was obliged to write a review of the city. After finding cheap flights from Stansted with Ryanair for £9.99 return my friends and I travelled to Rygge airport some 60km from the centre of the city. Transport from the airport to the city is mindless, A bus and ...  Read the complete review

One of my most interesting, and ultimately rewarding, weekend breaks was to Oslo the Capital City of Norway. My girlfriend booked us tickets a few years back as I'd become really interested in the paintings of Edvard Munch and wanted to see the museum in his home town of Oslo. It's not often a holiday is ruined by international ...  Read the complete review

"I wonder if there's a vacancy in a brighter place... if they need a cop in Bergen" (H.Hole) Say you go to visit Norway. Of course you want to stay in Oslo a few days. Say you want a unusual guide giving you an overview of the city with the eyes of a local (a very disillusioned one, I should add) and a few ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from a weekend in Oslo I thought I had better put pen to paper and write a review about Norway's capital city. In the past I have always travelled to Norway by ferry which is a scenic and enjoyable way to arrive. I remember passing endless islands and holms situated in the 100 kilometre Oslofjord to be greeted by wooded hills ...  Read the complete review

Oslo, the capital of Norway, was the second stop on my current month long journey around Europe. Going to Oslo was an obvious choice, as we were working our way through Scandinavia, it made sense to go to one of its capitals, and was also very easy to get to from Bergen, on Norway's west coast, where we'd made our first stop. Getting to ...  Read the complete review

Oslo, the Nordic City of Light, has changed over the last 100, and even the last 20 years, and a new cosmopolitan Oslo has wakened in the shadow of the images of the old sombre Oslo as depicted by Edvard Munch, the city’s famous painter. Getting There ----------------- Oslo is situated in southern Norway, at a latitude of ...  Read the complete review

A couple of summers ago we decided we'd hitch our way from here in the Stockholm area of Sweden to Oslo in Norway. One way or another, in sweltering heat, and by more than half a dozen different lifts, and with virtually no money in our pockets, we made it. This is a a little bit of what we did. After ...  Read the complete review

As some of you already know, I spent a huge chunk of my life in Norway. During the 18 years I spent there, I grew to love the country and its people, both of which will always have a very special place in my heart. I miss it terribly, and had it not been for the fact that I’ve found a very special person here in the UK, I might very well be ...  Read the complete review

As I am living in London, I didn't really expect Oslo to be more expensive. That was quite a mistake I made there, but I am still glad I went. As Norway is not part of the EU, it's very expensive to import all the products, so you can expect prices three times higher than in London! Luckily Ryanair flies to Oslo-Torp for a very low ...  Read the complete review

A fantastic place - go to Vigelands Park and the Munch Museum - Advantages: exciting, good transport, plenty to see and do - Disadvantages: expensive

I spent a month working in Oslo in september last year. I had no idea what to expect but it is certainly a place I would undoubtedly visit again and I would not mind working in for a while. Oslo is beautifully situated at the mouth of a fjord. It spreads up from the water level into the surrounding hills and whilst encompassing quite a ...  Read the complete review

Everybody who has been to Oslo would probably tell you of the sky high prices one has to pay to get a decent meal. If you thought that a McDonalds value meal here cost too much ...then you will be happy to know that the the same value meal would cost you double in Oslo. So how is one expected to eat and survive in Oslo especially if ...  Read the complete review

Oslo wasn't somewhere I particularly wanted to visit, but when a friend moved there I went for five days ... and was surprised by how much there was to do. The city has over 50 museums. I only had time to do a small selection, including the Maritime Museum, appropriately sited right alongside Oslo Fjord - get there by boat - and the national ...  Read the complete review

I visited Oslo last summer with a group of friends . It was amazing , we only spent the day in Oslo as we were touring round . We did however experience the underground , it was completely different to the one London one and a lot smaller . The Royal Place was magnificant and the guards were completely different to the English ones ...  Read the complete review
