Oslo

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | The proud spirit of the Norwegian people shines in every dimension of their capital city — from its once-fearsome Viking ships to its sleek new Opera House, from a fun folk museum that keeps traditions alive to the constant festival of its thriving harborfront. Connecting with the culture, we enjoy art — from Vigeland's statues to Munch's scream — and join local friends for a boat ride on their fjord. #ricksteves #oslo #norwaytravel

Thank you for the memories. I lived in Oslo for three years in the 70's.... My son was born there.
How much it's changed! But the best thing were the people! I'm still corresponding with the first person I met there! Oslo it's definitely a "MUST SEE" Really Norway is a must see. Most beautiful county and cleanest... Thanks again.

The rail journey from Oslo to Bergan and back is quite something.

I loved my time InOslo. Sailing on a cruise ship into Oslo harbor was breathtakingly beautiful. I recognized the architecture as very much the same I see InMy native Minnesota.

Back when I visited Norway in 2017 for 15 days I was in Oslo at the beginning and the end of my trip. Charming city!

[krednevalga]

I'm not Norwegian, not even European, but I really love this country and this city was established by my Viking idol, Harald Hardrada. The last great viking king.

Thanks alot Mr Rick. For fulfilment of our dreams. We cannot travel to such places. God bless u.

[chuckkottke]

That makes such good sense; Americans are faced with perils and worries from medical bankruptcies and facing old age in poverty. We have a ghastly inadequate system that is greatly in need of reform.🗽 Let Norway lead the way!🌄👑

Went to Oslo by acciddent in 2017 and fell in love with this city.

[krishnahappysmile]

I'm traveling to Oslo next month, and greatly in need of inspiration to tour around Oslo. Now, I got it. Thanks to Rick Steves for this superb video on Oslo.

I've never been to Europe, but Oslo seems like a nice place. I like how Norwegians have a sense of social responsibility and how they have universal healthcare. I also like how Oslo invests heavily in mass transit unlike many cities here in the U.S. People love their cars too much here in the U.S., and the traffic here is very bad.

"...and I have a cousin here who owns a boat." Rick must have found a genie's bottle on his travels for he certainly has a charmed life.
