Norway 🇳🇴 City Walk Day 1 | Oslo

Oslo made a far better first impression than Helsinki, the capital of Finland! It’s perfect for a city walk—compact enough to explore on foot, or take the tram (punctual, convenient, and clean). Download the Ruter app in advance to buy tickets directly from your phone. 🧍‍♀️ My City Walk Itinerary Oslo Opera House Just a 2-minute walk from the train station, this architectural marvel lets you climb to the top for panoramic city views. Munch Museum Located beside the opera house, visit for the three versions of The Scream. Book tickets and time slots online in advance—allow at least 2 hours. Oslo Cathedral Centrally located in the city, surrounded by bustling shops and streets. Royal Palace of Oslo Experience Norwegian royal ambiance! The guard changing ceremony here has a more Nordic flair than London’s. Stroll through the park in front of the palace. Fuglen Coffee Named "the world’s best coffee" by The New York Times—affordable and delicious. Oslo City Hall 🎫 Free entry! Admire the grand murals inside. Visit in December for a chance to witness the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Aker Brygge A versatile waterfront area: join fjord tours or take a sunset cruise. 📱 Useful Apps Google Maps for food recommendations 🍝 Vy for train bookings 🚉 Apple Maps 🗺 for more accurate walking routes (better than Google Maps for short distances) 📝 Tips Oslo’s weather is changeable 🌧️—carry rain gear and sunscreen ☔ for any conditions.
