Oslo Travelers Recommend

Oslo - a city in the countryside. If that sounds confusing, consider that Oslo is one of Europe'€™s largest capitals in terms of the area it covers but with one of the smallest populations. Begin your stay by getting a feel for this diverse and cultural city on a sightseeing tour taking in Viking history, folk museums and art galleries, including the wonderful Vigeland Sculpture Park. If you want to combine sea and land, take the boat/bus tour which includes the maritime museum, although the Vikings are long gone. And if time is of the essence and you want to get a look at everything - fjords, museums, Kon-Tiki Raft and the Holemnkollen Ski Jump - go for the Oslo experience: city, fjord, and countryside all in one go. Modern-day Oslo has plenty to offer if you have time to just wander and take in the sights. Climb aboard the Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus and explore the cafes and shops of this cosmopolitan, if expensive, city.
