Love Norway 🇳🇴❤️ Visiting again in August and spending 1 day in Oslo before heading over to the Fjords. This vlog is perfect for giving some ideas on my trip. Thanks for giving great information along with a great smile 😁

I'm from The Netherlands and just looking for some places i've never been before and Oslo seems really interesting, I'm searching a northern country to go in summer because I dont like heat 😅 and with going to Norway I have all Scandinavia visited

Thanks for the video, i've learned a lot about the city and it looks really pretty! 🇧🇻

Thanks a lot for a great tour. I am from Oslo but living abroad. And I think you mentioned most of the essential futures to discover in Oslo. Again thanks a lot for an outstanding informative video!

Hi Michele, thank you so much for this video! It is really very useful! I was watching it before my trip to Oslo. I've spend in this lovely city 2 1/2 days and today watched video again with "other eyes". I visited almost all places, that you recommend in your overview I am so happy!

[shirajpatel]

Gorgeous city and lovely description by the beautiful lady.

[vikgloria]

super good... covered 22/25 on my trip this year !!! thank you !

[jt_norway]

We need more of videos like yours 😎 im a Oslo native amidst a Sea of innflyttere (people who moved in from the countryside)

as much as i love showing Off awesome parts of my city to new people ive often felt lonely in being the only one with wide array of knowledge in regards to this.

Keep in mind ive grew up in town and know my way of the urban fabric aka being Street smart

and it kinda frightens me how ive met people who dont know alot of Oslo basics Even though they have lived here for years. So thank you for this wonderful walkabout about the big-small town Oslo.

[TeamJaune]

That was very informative, we were in Oslo last week! Wishe we had watched your video before going!

[Dzkhadouj]

I’m planning a trip to Oslo, this video is so helpful. Thank you!

[codewordapopla]

It's also worth to visit other islands on the oslo's fjord, you can get there by public transport. I had bought a 7-day public transport card when I was there, and I could go to those islands (I was on three of them but the fairy was going to more) without additional fee :) And when you'll visit a skijump (Holmenkollen) you can ride a rope ride from the top of it, to feel like real ski jumper :D

[seriouslyyoujest]

Finally Munch Museum mentioned! Thank you.

[Crozz]

Missed the surrounding forests and lakes, the are part of Oslo

[janishani]

How to tell you love your job without saying you love your job kind of video. Super loved this, Michele! Major gratitude! Absolutely unique and amazingly done 🧡🤩👌🏽
