Into the Wild in Oslo
Spreading for hundreds of miles from the mouth of the Oslofjord, Oslo is the largest city by area in Europe and is liberally covered in pristine forests rising up into the outlying hills. South of the unassuming city hall lies a vibrant waterfront known as Aker Brygge, which in summer is full of bustling outdoor restaurants and bars.
For the prettiest buildings head to affluent inner-city suburbs of Frogner and Fagerborg, or admire the traditional Scandinavian wooden houses of Bygdøy and Holmenkollen. Monumental buildings include the Royal Palace which runs daily tours and the Akershus Festning, which is a medieval castle that also served as a military base and provides impressive views of the Oslofjord. Oslo City Hall, or rådhus, offers even more distinctive architecture and it is the location of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
Nature is never far away in Oslo which is ringed by an archipelago of islands which are extremely popular in summer. Hiking, kayaking and sailing are all easily achievable within the city limits. Just as popular are the many museums. The national Museum houses Edvard Munch’s famous painting The Scream and Viking Ship Museum containing long-lost relics from Norway’s Viking past.
From downtown Sentrum to the Oslo Airport Gardermoen to the stunning statues in Frogner Park, Booking.com has over 80 hotels and other accommodations available.

Wonderful city, friendly people, lots of arts . It’s totally walkable and bicycle friendly. The taxis are pricey. Get the Oslo pass for touristy things. The Viking museum was great. The national museum is a must, Especially if you are a Munch fan. The scream is there a a great selection of paintings . The actual Munch museum is great if you have time, lots of overlap with the national museum .

Close to the buses where you can go anywhere you like.
Close to the buses where you can go anywhere you like. The staff of hotels and hostels should try to be warm, friendly and smile with tourists and visitors. Saying “good morning” when they see guest or visitors comes to the information desk shouldn’t be difficult to say. Even though this is not the culture, being polite, courteous and friendly are ways to satisfy and improve customer service.

Clean city unfortunately always under construction.
Clean city unfortunately always under construction. When you think you can walk down a road the next you find it is blocked and have to walk around. Apart from that lots of activities, a lot to see, good restaurants but if you are from a poor European country be prepared for Paris, or U.K. Prices sometimes more. Granted the Norwegian kroner went down from 7,80 per euro to 9,40 per euro so you get more for your money and general prices did not go up so much from that time.

A beautiful and vibrant city.
A beautiful and vibrant city. Lots of great museums. And for me the highlight was two sculpture parks (Vigeland and Ekebergparken).
Easy to get around with a network of buses, trams, trains and ferries (you can buy day passes for all transit from ticket machines at major stations). There is even a smart phone app which was O.K. for trip planning but I was never able to use it to actually purchase tickets. There is also city bike share program that has day passes for a reasonable fee and a good app for finding bike stations and checking out/returning bikes.
One day bought a 24 hour “Oslo Pass” at my hotel. This allowed me to enter a number of museums and ride all the transit for one price.

I loved the downtown area.
I loved the downtown area. We were in walking distance which was great because we were able to experience more of the city on foot and didn't need to take a cab everywhere. The restaurants were amazing. We also enjoyed a nice boat ride.

We have a friend from Oslo who gave us a walking tour.
We have a friend from Oslo who gave us a walking tour. We didn’t have time to see any museums but we walked by the palace, down to the pier, saw where they hand out the Nobel Prize, etc. Oslo is easy to get around walking or by public transit. Lots of great restaurants and shopping.
“Good price, short walking distance to train/bus station, Karl Johan Blvd. Extremely clean, quiet, and easy to use self check in kiosk. Secure with access to lobby & elevator by key card only. Cafe access through the lobby which was reasonably priced for Norway and very clean. Access from cafe to hotel by key card. Ironing room available.”
“Hotel location is in a walking distance from many sites including Opera house, train station. Breakfast buffet with many varieties was good. We booked a triple room, including one big bed and a big sofa bed, was huge Staff is like almost everyone in Norway very friendly and helpful.”
“The room was just great for our 4 day-stay in Oslo. Large, well furnished and with a small balcony. The breakfast is one of the best we have encountered.”
“It was just a great place to stay overall! Also, on the first day there were some free soup on the reception. Great to have that when the weather gets wet!”
“The location is perfect! Overlooks a busy park and outdoor eating venue, lots of people strolling the street. Overlooks the parliament house as well. Heard music on and off from different locations.”
“The location is amazing! Although most sites say they have air conditioning they do not. If your room window does not open towards the train station you will have plenty of air flow. It was very comfortable in room 346.”
“Great location away from city center. Many restaurants and shopping venues. Access to art museum was special and maybe highlight of stay. Room/bed comfortable. Breakfast could serve as first 2 meals of the day.”
“The location is great, very close to the palace.
Although the rooms are not spacious they are well designed and clean and for being in a central location value for money.”
