Oslo Opera House 🗺️
#citydaytours
During my summer vacation in Oslo, I visited the Oslo Opera House, and it was an unforgettable experience! 🎭🏛️ Located right on the harbor, this architectural marvel is known for its striking modern design and stunning views. The best part? You can walk on the roof for panoramic city views—definitely a highlight of the trip! 🌆
The entrance to the building itself is free, but if you want to catch a performance, tickets vary based on the show and seating. I managed to catch a matinee, and the quality of the performance was exceptional. 🎶 The Opera House is also close to attractions like the Aker Brygge waterfront and the Nobel Peace Center, making it easy to explore the area.
If you’re in Oslo, don’t miss the chance to see this iconic building and perhaps enjoy a world-class performance. It’s a must-visit for architecture and culture enthusiasts alike!

Let's travel to Oslo.
It was an impressive first experience with snow. Environment/Facilities: Oslo is quiet, peaceful, and clean. The people are not chaotic. 💞Reason for recommendation: If you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting at least once. Don't worry about the language barrier because most people here speak English in addition to Norwegian. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

My experience at the Christmas Market in Oslo was a winter wonderland for me! 🎄 Located in Spykersuppa Square in the heart of the Norwegian capital, the location of the market is no less glamorous outside the Royal Palace Oslo City Hall
The highlight was the many stalls, each offering a variety of festive crafts, traditional Norwegian desserts and holiday treats for Gløgg (mulled wine) and the scent of roasted almonds filled the air filled, making it pleasantly inviting and creating an atmosphere.
Surrounded by twinkling lights and decorated with a towering Christmas tree, the central ice rink was the heart of the market. Skating with the Palace in the background added a bit of magic to the experience.
While exploring nearby attractions, Akershus Castle and the Acre Brigge waterfront offered a seamless mix of historic and modern charm. The picturesque streets of the Karl Johannes Gate made for a lovely leisurely walk, especially the town decorated with festive lights
Essentially, the Oslo Christmas Market is a Nordic delight, offering the perfect blend of tradition, holiday cheer and warm Norwegian hospitality for Its central location, festive highlights and proximity to Oslo’s cultural gems make it a holiday an interesting place. 🇳🇴❄️🏰 #christmas #snow #Santa #oslo #norway

Oslo Flight Luggage Tips!
Long story short, me and my friend was nearly late for the flight from Oslo to Stockholm, just because of a short toilet break in the hotel room🤡
We went to the Oslo central station with confident of being early, yet the airport express have already left🤣After waiting for 20min, we can finally go to the airport and realise that we have only 20 minutes left for boarding. Luckily, we found out that we can check in online and get the luggage tag on the train, which is a great tips for you guys!
another thing, as we are nearly the last ppl to check in, the luggage was offload first after we arrive Stockholm. Hooray!#luggage #tips #境外遊 #oslo #stockholm

🇧🇻☃️ Ride uphill in Oslo and experience snow!
🚋 The Holmenkollen Metro Line (L1) in Oslo is just one of a kind in the world... From the harbour front near Oslo Central Station, it takes only 40 minutes for you to reach the western terminus - Frognerseteren, which is 469m above sea level! 🏞️☃️ #urbanexplorer
The metro climbs uphill slowly with lots of twists and turns. What's more, ❄️ snow will gradually appear as you go towards the top of the line 😍
🥾 When you reach the terminus - walk around! There are plenty of natural trails around for you to explore the amazing countryside of oslo. And you can also enjoy the grand panoramic view of the city - straight from the station platform~ 📸
☃️ In winter, if the weather is good, you can ride here to catch the sunrise as the station is facing east. ☀️ You don't have to wake too early as the sun rises at 9am, but note that the metro only provide half-hourly services in early morning... 🕣
If you have more time, go to Roseslottet 🎨, which is just next to the station~ It's an art museum dedicated to the second world war. Best if you like history 😍

Viking Ship Museum and Kon-Tiki
#bucketlistreboot
We also visited The Viking Ship Museum (Vikingskipshuset) which is most famous for the completely whole Oseberg ship, excavated from the largest known ship burial in the world. It appears this museum is now temporarily closed for renovation until 2025/2026. The new museum will be called the “Museum of the Viking Age” which will provide a more complete picture of the Viking Age in its entirety.
Kon-Tiki Museum The museum houses vessels and maps from the popular Kon-Tiki expedition. Here you can see the Kon-Tiki, a balsawood raft that Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl used to cross the Pacific Ocean. This was his first expedition to be captured on film. The Kon-Tiki documentary from 1950 is screened every day at 12 noon in the cinema of the museum. Take this into account when planning your visit.

The Vigeland Park
#bucketlistreboot
Frogner Park is the largest park in Oslo where you can see the Vigeland installation – a permanent sculpture installation created by Gustav Vigeland. It consists of sculptures as well as larger structures such as bridges and fountains. At the highest point in the park, you will see the park’s most popular attraction, the Monolith. The Monolith tower is composed of 121 human figures rising towards the sky. The Vigeland installation is sometimes called “Vigeland Park” or “Vigeland Sculpture Park”. In reality, “Vigeland Park” doesn’t really exist but this is the name used by the tourists as opposed to “Oslo natives” who know it as Frogner Park.
