What people say about Oslo

Skip Oslo and get into the nature!

Peter Teider

The city has alot of charming parks. Visit the one with all the statues. The city is surrounded with great nature and you can also take the subway directly up to the skislopes. If you want to grab a beer, Grynelukka is one of many great bar streets. If you're into rockclimbing they have one of the best climbinggyms i've ever been to (Oslo kletre centre).

I have been to Oslo many times over the years. Both for fun and for work. It is a pretty nice city with some interesting architecture downtown, like the opera house and the new buildings along the waterfront. The city is great for walking around town on a nice summer day. The food is OK, but kind of disappointing for a larger city. People are pretty friendly, as most Norwegians are. The very best thing about Oslo is its surroundings, the nice green areas around the city where I love to play disc golf in the forest, and the Oslofjord giving much of the city views of the water.

Been to Oslo many times for both work and leisure. Very clean and well organized as well as extremely safe. It's easy to get around via the tram and buses. The food offers a selection from all of the world but a mixed big in terms of quality versus prices. Everything in Oslo is expensive, even for fellow Scandinavians. Parts of the city is beautiful, people are overall friendly and will communicate with you in English without any problems. If you have to choose between Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm or Helsinki, Oslo is however on the bottom of that list while still being a overall nice city to visit - but missing the genuine and "big city"-feeling.
