Oslo Travel Guide: Things to do in Oslo as a Tourist
Top Sightseeing locations to visit in Oslo, Norway. Including Downtown Oslo, The Royal Castle, museums, Vigelandsparken, Holmenkollen, and more.
The exact locations are listed at the end of the description.
The Oslo Opera:
Do this one! The opera building is adjacent to the central station, and it's awesome. It's architecture is like walking on an iceberg, and it overlooks the Oslo fjord and Akershus Castle. Doesn't take much time.
Karl Johans gate:
The main walking street that connects Central Station (Oslo S) with the Royal Castle. I guess it's a must when you come to Oslo. You can't avoid it, and you shouldn't! Because it's the main street of Oslo. But Karl Johan is mostly for the tourists, beggars, scammers. People that live in Oslo, like me, hardly ever go there.
Royal Castle:
It's quite small compared to other royal castles because Norway was a poor country when it was built. But it's still a nice place to walk through on your way to Bogstadveien or to spend half an hour.
Akershus Castle:
This is a nice medieval castle at the center of Oslo, overlooking the Oslo fjord, and Aker brygge. Very nice for sunsets, and after a day in Oslo sentrum or Aker Brygge. There is also a free military museum and a cheap WWII resistance museum here.
Aker Brygge:
These are the Oslo docks which have been redeveloped into a posh private restaurant/bar/shopping area. Nice for a walk, and plenty of places to sit down and watch people or the magnificent view of Akershus Castle. There's also a modern art museum here if that's your thing. If you do go to the modern art museum, be sure go all the way to the top terrace, where you find an even better view of Aker Brygge, the fjord and Akershus Castle.
Museum Island/Peninsula (Bygdøy):
This is where most of the museums are, including the Viking Ship Museum, Kon Tiki, Maritime Museum, Folk Museum. But be aware that it takes a day, and it's quite a detour, there's not much else to do there. If I had to pick one, I would do the Viking Ship museum and maybe the adjacent Folk Museum.
Vigelandsparken/Frognerparken:
This sculpture park is very good, and very large. During summer this is a continuous party/BBQ, but in wintertime you will find mostly joggers and dog walkers. Do this park if naked stone people are your thing. Pro tip: The Oslo City museum is in the park, and its FREE!
Holmenkollen/Frognerseteren:
Holmenkollen is a giant ski-jump on a mountain overlooking Oslo. There is also the ski-museum and ski-stuff around here. Metro line 1 runs all the way to Frognerseteren and there is a cafe/restaurant close to the wilderness where you can overlook Oslo.
Ekebergåsen:
This is a lookout point close to Oslo, overlooking the city. If you are thinking of going to Frognerseteren for the view only, you should go here instead. Much closer to the city, so you get a better view and travel time is less, this is a nice spot to watch the sunset.
Some Pro Tips:
If you want to see the fjord for cheap, go to the beginning of Aker Brygge, and take the ferry (B10) to Nesodden and back again (don't get of). You will have a great view of Akershus Castle, Aker Brygge, numerous islands and the fjord.
The RuterReise app for live public transportation time tables or planning, or just use Google maps, there's another RuterBillett app for purchasing tickets with a credit card on your phone, but I think it's only in Norwegian. Then there is the website for trip planning.
Uber app, works quite well, and is half price of normal taxi

Oslo Travel Guide: Sørenga Seawater Pool
Check out this new seawater pool and bathing place right at the hearth of Oslo! This large jetty is specifically made for bathing. It is free to use, all year around. It is within walking distance from Oslo Opera and Oslo Central Station.
The bathing complex features a beach, an enclosed salt water pool, and a salt water pool with swim lanes. There is also a dive tower and a life guard service.
Behind the beach starts a promenade that runs along the fjord to towards the Oslo Opera. There are restaurants, bars and coffeeshops. Featured in this film was:
Dock Espressobar
Mirabel restaurant
Cargo restaurant
At Friluftshuset Sørenga you can rent kayaks which you can use for paddling in the Oslo Fjord. The webpage for the kayak rental is unfortunately only in Norwegian:
Sørenga sjøbad is pen all year around, but bathing at night is prohibited. As of 2018, the opening hours are 06-22.

About Davlorito
My channel began as an outlet for my creative side and joy in making videos. Live life alive has become the motto of this channel after I lost my dear cousin Paul who was more like my twin brother. After mourning I came to realize that life is too short to not live life to the fullest. One of the greatest decisions I made was to live in Korea for a year and study at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). On my channel, I share my travels, SKKU experiences, thoughts, fashion, facial care, and life experiences. I hope you enjoy and become part of the fambam.

Holmenkollen - Oslo, Norway
Located on the highest hill of Oslo, Holmenkollbakken is one of the most famous ski jumps in the world and can be seen from anywhere in the city. This landmark is now illuminated by Traxon's Liner Shield AC XB and Wall Washer Shield AC XB in cold and warm white hues. Controlled by an e:cue Butler XT, the entire steel façade is illuminated from the inside and underneath the jumping area in four dynamic scenarios. The installation illuminates a jumper gliding down the hill; it glows and pulses like a star or ice crystals on the façade; it contrasts dark and light sections of the hill moving up and down on the façade; and the running light can also be dimmed to 75% and 50%. The controller's eight digital inputs interface with the overall control system of the ski stadium. The project's technical challenges include finding the optimal position of the fixtures, and installing the fixtures 80 meters high; mobile cranes and crew safety had to be quality assured at a high level. Many parties were involed and the result is a masterpiece of architectural lighting—a truly stunning project of a lifetime.
