5 Tips for Your Oslo Vacation
Oslo offers plenty of activities for all ages and interests.
1. A Day at Holmenkollen
At Holmenkollen, a perfect day awaits you. You can dine at the restaurant, zipline, rappel down the ski jump tower, visit the ski museum, or explore the Rose Castle.
Holmenkollen also offers several great hiking trails, and your imagination is the only limit.
2. Aker Brygge and the Harbor Promenade
Aker Brygge has a wide selection of restaurants and shops, but it's also an excellent place to stroll in the sun. The pier is full of ice cream kiosks and coffee bars, so you can easily grab something on the go. Here, you will also find some of the city's best outdoor seating areas.
If you want to experience more of the harbor, walk the entire harbor promenade. Walk from the tip of Sørenga to Tjuvholmen, or walk along the water all the way to Bygdøy if you want a longer hike.
