Apologies for anyone who has been waiting for this video, and sorry it's taken a while to edit. Life has been hectic and I certainly have taken my lumps recently. I hope to go back to travelling soon. Please (as always) share this video if you have found it helpful. 😀
My ex girlfriend was from Oslo, her family lived in the Western Districts of Oslo, and those neighbourhoods are well worth a visit. There are some very beautiful houses and some cool neighbourhoods, although it is very wealthy but really nice to visit.
Oh nice! I never went to the west districts of the city other than to see the Folk museum and the attractions around there. I'm sure if I go again, I'll be sure to walk around some of the neighbourhoods there. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks! 😀 Admittedly, the time between uploads is getting longer and longer due to life and a busy day job. Hopefully I will go to more places and crank out more videos like this very soon. Appreciate your comments 🙂
Thanks! And yes, the Norwegian Folk Museum was so much fun! I don't think my footage did it justice - it was super cool in an old-time authentic kind of way. I highly recommend that you book a trip just for that!
Visited Oslo back in 2010 (I think), great city and yes expensive (but so is Dublin). Have a few tentative plans to visit the Scandinavian countries next year, haven’t been to Denmark or Sweden yet! Great video as always. If you are looking for a recommendation, you’ve probably been to Amsterdam but if you go a little further and get a train to Groningen you won’t be disappointed! Really funky!
Thank you! I did all these Scandi countries in the same trip, so I think that might work well for you? I've been to Amsterdam, but not Groenigen - so I'll definitely check it out if I get the opportunity. I'm not aware that Lindoya was under any attack, but don't quote me on that.
It really is! Apart form the really inconsistent weather when I went, it was definitely a fun city to explore. The Folk museum was one of the most unique experiences I've ever had and I'd do that again in a heartbeat. Thanks again :)
Very nice, just a couple of corrections to avoid confusion or disappointment. Not the first King of Norway. It is Haakon VII, Queen Maud and their son Olav V and his wife Crown Princess Märtha. First king of Norway was arguably Harald Fairhair (Old Norse: Haraldr Hárfagri) (c. 850 - c. 932). Been awesome to know where he ended up, but he isn’t in Akershus Castle. Btw, that isn’t St. Olav church (the catholic church), it’s smaller and a bit further up the same street, that is Vår Frelsers Kirke (Our Saviors Church). Lompe is soft bread made with potato flour. Love love love it 😊 The Vigeland Museum is next to the Vigeland Park (Frogner parken), it is not on Bygdøy. Vikingship museum will probably not open until 2027. Remember that the ferry to Bygdøy does not accept the regular public transport tickets but they accept the Oslo Pass. On the island of Heggholmen is the Heggholmen fyr, it is not a church, but a tiny lighthouse with a bell they used to ring in fog and so on. My grandfather worked on that island until 1940 for the Lilleborg soap factory. The 24 hour or 7 day public transport ticket is also very nice if you don’t plan on going to that many museums. Lovely video 😊
2 weeks before my northern Europe trip. I had watched all your other videos for the cities I'm visiting (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm) but this one was missing. Right on time :D
Nice! I hope you've found it helpful? Sorry this one was so late, life has beaten me up recently so uploads were few and far between, but I'm happy that it arrived just in time for you and a few others who were expecting this video.
When you visit Athens make sure you go to the Presidential Mansion, you can’t go inside but there is the changing of the guard and the garden of the mansion which you can visit.
Hey Ninh, do you have any plans on visiting natural parks in the future or nature attractions in general? You've had some great videos of such, so I was just curious. Maybe cash in on the Silent hiking genre? Cheers
Yes, I've done some natural attractions before (like Grand Canyon & Red Rock Canyon) and I plan to do a video about the Lakes and the NC500 etc. Not sure about the silent hiking, it's really not my style - but it's definitely something I need to do more of.
The best way to travel to Oslo from Torp Airport is by train. Shuttlebus down to the station with the same name, and a 1.5 hour train ride to Oslo. From Gardermoen travelling with Vy is about half the price of Flytoget, and takes less than a minute more.
As mentioned in the video, the price depends on how many days you want it for? Refer to the Oslo Pass website for the exact price for your circumstances. Cheap hotels are rare in Oslo, but if you can stay at the K7 for a decent price, it comes recommended.
What's Norwegian for "Oh, Cock!"? (I know, it's the wrong part of Norway, but I couldn't help but think of that classic "Top Gear" moment when I heard you did a video on Oslo.)
Ah yes, the Norway episode! I think that most of those are staged and edited for cinematic purposes, but in the old days of Top Gear, it was at least believable. It wasn't anywhere near as pre-meditated as what the Grand Tour is now, which is borderline unwatchable, cringeworthy and predictable.
@@UltimateBucketList Narvesen, 7-Eleven and Deli De Luca are the three main convenience kiosk chains in Norway, and they are bloody expensive! Typical groceries are double price compared to supermarkets. It is actually a robbery, and people only buy groceries there when supermarkets are closed and they are desperate.. HOWEVER, they often have have ok deals for Hot dogs, pizza and different bakeries.

An excellent, well produced classy video of this fabulous city. Have not seen you for a while- thought you had retired !! Glad you didn`t !.

This is is such a timely video Ninh, thanks so much!
You're welcome! I hope you found it helpful in planning your trip to Oslo. 🙂
Another brilliant video! I want to go to that living museum!

Lindoya, is that the place where the attack happened?

I'm not aware that Lindoya was under any attack, but don't quote me on that.
@@StrangeUrr No, it happened on Utøya, which is located outside Oslo.
@@steinarhaugen7617 My apologies ✌️
Great video Ninh, Oslo does look very vibrant
It really is! Apart form the really inconsistent weather when I went, it was definitely a fun city to explore.
The Folk museum was one of the most unique experiences I've ever had and I'd do that again in a heartbeat.

Good imaging nice city.

@@UltimateBucketList Very helpful. The best videos for this area of the world on RUclips. Thanks so much!
wait ?! new logo and new intro ........that's cool .
Thanks! And yes, implemented a new look about three videos ago. It was way overdue!
oslo is very incredible
Yeah it is really nice. Love the people of Oslo - so friendly!
Do you fly a drone or where do you get all this good footage from air?
I do fly drones for work and when I travel, but I didn't have one on this trip to Oslo - so I used stock footage instead.
When you visit Athens make sure you go to the Presidential Mansion, you can’t go inside but there is the changing of the guard and the garden of the mansion which you can visit.
I will try, Athens is definitely on my list! Thanks for the suggestion!

The most amazing thing about the Kon Tiki expedition was that Thor Heyerdahl could not swim.
I believe so, yes!
Are signs in tourist locations, train n bus stations also in English?
Yes they are! It's super easy to navigate around if you're an English speaker. 🙂
The best way to travel to Oslo from Torp Airport is by train. Shuttlebus down to the station with the same name, and a 1.5 hour train ride to Oslo. From Gardermoen travelling with Vy is about half the price of Flytoget, and takes less than a minute more.
Good tips!
How much will it cost for oslo pass. And also can you suggest a cheap hotel to stay for one day
As mentioned in the video, the price depends on how many days you want it for?
Refer to the Oslo Pass website for the exact price for your circumstances.
Cheap hotels are rare in Oslo, but if you can stay at the K7 for a decent price, it comes recommended.
oslo is where my missing rib could be

Do you remember Ole from Man Utd he’s from Norway. And so is Haaland and Ødegaard. 🇳🇴
Yeah, it's pretty common knowledge to be fair. All from Norway.
Narvesen is not a supermarket! It's an expensive convenience kiosk. Don't do your everyday shopping there!
Still cheaper than quite a lot of other places I went to.
