Correction: Kristiansand is a city and a beautiful one at that. In Oslo I was so bummed The Viking Ship Museum is closed until 2025. But wandering around the Medieval Akershus Fortress was delightful. In Leirvik the Sunnhordlandstunet Museum (phew don’t have to try to pronounce that one). Was a true gem. #travel #Norway #norwaynature @hollandamericaline Have you been to Norway?

I never actually enjoyed Oslo, I always just go shopping and spend money. But that was before @numastays contacted me at the perfect time! I was going to @springsteen concert, and needed a place to stay! @numastays had just gotten a new location in the middle of Oslo city centre that they wanted me to check out so I did. My Oslo guide below 👇🏻 1. Stay at @numastays, I stayed at Numa Hallen which is very close to the Opera house, train station, and the main walking street. It has no key! You receive a unique code for entrance and room. GET YOUR DISCOUNT WITH MY CODE: MARIENUMA15 when you book with them! 2. Local bakery, Oslo has many. To name a few: Håndbakt, Åpent Bakeri and the infamous Farine bakery. 3 Concerts in Oslo. Go to Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Hoopla, Oslo konserthus or Oslo Spektrum to see if they have tickets for your dates. 4. Aker Brygge is a popular pier for food or drinks! 5. Oslo Opera house is special during sunset, everyone sitting on the roof, skating, socialising. Fine architecture. 6. Oslo’s Venice! My favourite part of Oslo! It’s right next to the Opera House. go to the donut 🍩 shop called Talormade Bispevika. You will end up at this exact location. 7. Karl Johans Gate: the best and most popular shopping street in Oslo. It’s super close to @numastays. From there you can walk to the Royal Palace! Such a vibrant and fun street 8. Grefsenkollen: Rad place for a cool view over Oslo, during sunset! Also a very popular restaurant, hiking around and a hippie cafe truck 🛻 9: Vigeland Park: find “Sinnataggen” free entrance 10: Oslo Raw: Best vegan food in Norway. Other things to do: - Kok Sauna Oslo - The Royal Palace - Oslomarka - Holmenkollen - Art Museums (Munch) - Viking Museum SAVE THIS FOR YOUR NEXT OSLO TRIP 😍 📷 @karolinethyri 🧘🏼♀️ @bomkanari In collab with @numastays #oslo #norway #norge #tips #numastays

On our last day in Norway we got to go to this museum and I'm so glad! Plenty of parking (paid, of course) right behind the museum. As soon as you walk in you're faced with your first viking burial ship and it's pretty amazing! The museum has 3 burial ships, 1 even was for women. Everything was very well labeled so much that I felt like a got a decent education in where these ships came from, who and what they would've contained and some of the history. It was really fascinating and made me want to do some research on it when I got home. Besides the ships there are artifacts that were found in the ships, a really cool movie about the ships that is projected on a wall by one of the ships and other audio learning areas. Even though there were plenty of people there I was lucky to get some pictures without many people in them. There's a little food stall in front of the museum and since we were hungry, it was a chilly day and our last in Norway, we had to get our last waffle with brown cheese, hot chocolate and of course, ice cream with licorice sprinkles!

So I love the place, mainly because it is a museum with a solid exhibition, very well preserved ships and materials from ancient age, yet the museum isn't so big that you can actually start loosing your focus, or get bored. Last time visited they had just opened the new 3D video experience in one of the nave of the exhibition area, and I honestly found it refreshing, it was very well though to be understandable for the most people whatever the age and the country they came from. It was entertaining yet very accurate, and both me and my guest really enjoyed it. My only complaint, and that's what keeping me from giving a full score, is the signing, which is in very little font and low contrast in most of the places, and it's limited to a bit too few languages. I would appreciate in such a museum if they though a bit more about readability and, eventually, adding some more explanation in other European languages.

The Viking Ship Museum has three large viking ships -or what's left of them- and for the price (€10) is probably not worth the time. Aside form the ships there's a couple of remainings found in burial places such as and mainly limited to horses and sleighs, but there are actually no weapons or jewelery, since these graves were raided in the viking era. In addition, one of the ships is wrecked and you get a short video next to it (every 15 mins) showing some of the traditions vikings followed when burying important people. If you really are into viking history give it a go, otherwise be aware of the facts stated above since there are many other options available through Norway. I read other people's reviews before coming here and have to admit, even when a fan of viking history, I felt a little bit disappointed after the experience, specially in comparison to what other parts of Norway offer regarding to vikings. This museum can be seen in 15 minutes.

Very interesting to see the 4 Viking ships and several artifacts in this museum. Also liked the short film feature that walked through the “life” of one of these burial boats featured in the museum. It is a relatively small museum - just has the 4 boats and a few additional artifacts - so if you’re not interested in the Viking era or ships, it may not be worth the ticket price for you. To note, the ticket price also gives you entry to the Folk Museum, which is 1 bus stop or a short (5-10 minute) walk away. Going to both would help make the ticket price easier to justify. Lockers at the entry are required for bags larger than a medium-sized purse for women (anything that could hold a small laptop likely would be required to be checked) but they are free of charge. Luggage storage probably wouldn’t be an option here, but it’s far enough from the airport that I don’t imagine that would be a common issue.
