Travel To Oslo Norway

  Written By: Waqas Rafiq

Why travel to Oslo, it's the most beautiful city in Europe! It's very small but you can find many things for free. Here are some ideas:

Explore The National Park

This is called Fridtjof Nansens Gjerding with 815 hectares of land and is considered one of the world's best areas. You will enjoy walking around this area and seeing all types of animals such as bears, whales, etc, or visiting the Arctic Circle which has a lot of museums that you can go to there. This is just a little far from the capital city by road but still not much of everything to see there.

Visit the Little Church of Nordfjords which was built by St Olav Haldane during the Reformation. There are many different stories of how the churches were made and what the story means. Also, visit St Elisabeth’s Cathedral which is located next to the park and have lunch at Sjögårdskoleen and also visit Nyhrona which is a huge museum of Norwegian history. Other options are visiting B-Park in Old Town Square. (The last place I visited).

Explore Northern Lights – Iceland

There's so much to do in Oslo city when it comes to viewing the night sky. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Vigeland Plain where they can view the northern lights. And, you also can enjoy taking part in several activities like flying a balloon over the Vigeland Plain. For example, watch a ballet and then experience another ballet performance nearby. Or you could attend the Blue Lagoon. Another interesting adventure you could take: Visit Norselands Museum and visit the collection of Norwegian folk art. In addition to these things, you can stay at Hotel Pater Rundh and you can get a private tour by boat in an authentic fishing village!

Visit Lofoten Bridge & Opera House

Lofoten is the only bridge northeast of Norway. It's part of the Lofoten archipelago which is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Norwegian Sea. When traveling through the archipelago, you can enjoy the fantastic scenery in Lofoten. Not only does it look amazing, but it offers great views for those who want to take a walk out in nature. As for the opera house, it's a large building that houses over 90000 live concerts every year.

Visit Statneset – Lake Bjoernes Bay

This beautiful lake is a popular tourist attraction with 4 million tourists coming here every year. Not only is it a picturesque attraction, but it features a wonderful beach and plenty of attractions to explore. So why not relax on the shoreline, swim in the water, soak up the sun, and just enjoy the peace and tranquility. Explore other regions of the country with your kids, and discover more places to visit in Norway.

Visit Harborside Walkway

Another famous landmark is a very natural and green stretch around the harbor with incredible views. It consists of numerous buildings which make the area look like a playground. If you don't mind walking a bit further from the edge, you can always enjoy watching the boats sailing across the waters. The harbor will be full of tourists enjoying themselves with their families.

Visit Lapland - Norway

If you're looking for something less popular but equally breathtaking, you will be amazed by visiting Lapland. On my trip to Lapland, I went to the famous peak known as Trollstigen as well as to its UNESCO heritage center Gorlestong and then to Breiaalp Forest in western Norway to hike the mountains. One of the greatest parts was going back to my family house in Mykleiv, Germany where I met Grandpa during my vacation. Although you won't see me walking there today, it still looked incredible.
