#Palace The Royal Palace of Oslo is an important landmark in Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the residence of the King of Norway. Set in a stunning cityscape overlooking the Oslo Fjord, this magnificent building is a symbol of Norwegian history and culture. Personally, I think you must watch the changing of guard ceremony held in front of the Oslo Royal Palace every noon. The soldiers are dressed in traditional Norwegian Royal Guard uniforms, which is very interesting. In addition, if you are interested in the history of the Norwegian royal family, you can also buy a ticket to visit. #100 Ways to Travel #Norway #Northern Europe

We spent a total of 1.5 days in Oslo. It is recommended not to go back because Oslo is a bit boring compared to other cities. 【Accommodation recommendation】 As a transfer station to and from the country, we stayed in a hotel near the airport, which is a 5-minute walk away. It is recommended to order the hotel buffet breakfast, which is very rich 👍🏻 📍Radisson Hotel & Conference Center Oslo Airport 【Transportation Tips】 🚄There are two train companies that provide train service between the airport and the city, namely VY and FLY. We chose VY because it is cheaper than FLY. 🎫The one-way ticket price for the train from the airport to the city is 129kr 🎫24-hour ticket (zone1-zone4N) includes the city tram, bus and vy line train to and from the airport, 303kr, the best option for a day trip to and from the airport, can be purchased on the Ruter app or find staff on site 🎫There are ticket inspectors on the trains from the airport to the city, but no one checks tickets on the trams in the city, so you have to buy your ticket on your own (it seems that if you are caught evading the ticket, you will be fined 1000kr, so don't take the risk) 【Must-see attractions】 1️⃣Oslo Library Deichman Bjorvika: Very artistic (Figure 1, 2) 2️⃣Oslo Royal Palace: There is a changing of guard at 13:30 every day. It’s a bit boring, but I’m here anyway. The interior of the palace is not open to the public in February (it is open only in summer) (Figures 3, 4) 3️⃣ Oslo City Hall Radhuset: Free, security check required, closed at 4pm (we entered at 3:40pm). The murals inside are worth viewing, and it is also the venue for the Nobel Peace Prize (Pictures 5-7) 4️⃣ Akershus Fortress: Free to visit the outside of the castle, the interior seems to be closed, about 1 hour to visit, you can see the panoramic view of Aker Brygge (Pictures 8, 9) 5️⃣Oslo Opera House, National Gallery: passing by 6️⃣ Munch Museum: We are not very interested in art, so we skipped it due to limited time. 7️⃣Oslo Cathedral Oslo Domkirke: When I went there, the church was holding a ceremony and the visit was suspended (Picture 10) 8️⃣Aker Brygge: I feel that the pier in Tromsø is more distinctive than Aker Brygge, so you don’t need to go there specifically. 【Must-eat food】 📍Mamma pizza (picture 13, 14) 🍕Ordered a mushroom cheese bacon pizza and tiramisu Super delicious! recommend! We walked in directly at noon, without waiting for a table. When we passed by at around 5pm, there was already a long queue at the restaurant entrance. It is recommended to eat there at noon 📍Mathallen Oslo (Picture 15,16) The local market sells all kinds of meat and seafood, and there is also a food court. It is very small, so if you want to experience it, you can go shopping. A restaurant recommended by many people, vulkanfisk, is also there, but we have already been to Tromsø and Lofoten, and we have tried everything we want to try, and the prices are not very good. I bought a chicken burger that looked like a roujiamo, and it tasted okay (Figure 18) #NorwayTravel #NorwayTravel #Oslo

Plan to walk around Oslo, Norway for 2 days in a relaxed manner. Of course, the airline must fly to Oslo if you are visiting Norway before traveling to the south and north of the country. Of course, when you come to Norway, you must think of Lofoten, an island with very beautiful natural views. But I will take you to walk around Oslo for 2 days. You can plan to walk around on the way there or on the way back before flying back to Thailand as well... For me, Oslo is a fairly classic old city. You can walk around the city in a pleasant way. The center is the train station surrounded by important places to walk around, such as the shopping street that stretches to the palace, Opera House, the Vogel and Park, etc. But the most classic is the view of the Opera House at sunset when the sun is about to set. In this area, many people come to sit and relax, watch the sunset, and the orange light at this time is the most beautiful. For anyone who is traveling to change planes in this city, try to stop by and plan a trip. You won't be disappointed. #oslo #norway #withmyshutter #travelblogger #photo #travelphotography #NewYearNewTrip

Skimore Oslo is now open! The Nordic purple sky appears right on time at sunset. Although this ski resort is not large, its extremely long operating hours, unparalleled location, and super affordable annual pass prices make it one of the most visited ski resorts in Norway, comparable to larger ones. It seems like every skier in Oslo has an annual pass—truly a ski resort with a conscience! Some practical information: Only 30 minutes from the city center, with a large free parking lot, and public transportation directly to the entrance. - Current operating hours are Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and weekends from 9 AM to 5 PM. There are two types of ski equipment rentals available: short-term and annual! Check the official website for specific rules. This is super friendly for skiers without cars, as you can store your gear at the resort without having to carry it back and forth. - Be cautious when driving down the mountain as there are many curves and some areas may be slippery due to snow. Avoid drifting. The resort is still working hard to make snow, with only two trails open. Skiers planning to visit in the next few days should be aware that it can get crowded at night, increasing the risk of collisions, especially with many children around. #Norway #NorwaySkiing #Oslo

#summerdestinations During my summer vacation in Oslo, I had the chance to visit The Royal Palace, and it was a highlight of my trip! 👑🏰 Situated at the end of Karl Johans Gate, the palace is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture. The entrance to the palace grounds is free, but guided tours inside cost about 150 NOK (roughly $15). The tour was well worth it, offering insights into Norwegian royal history and showcasing the opulent rooms and historical artifacts. The Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place daily at 1:30 PM, was an impressive spectacle. 🕰️🎖️ Nearby, you can explore the beautiful Palace Park, perfect for a leisurely walk, or head over to the nearby Oslo Cathedral and the bustling city center for more sightseeing and shopping. If you’re in Oslo, don’t miss out on this regal experience! #trip #localguides #RoyalPalaceOslo #OsloSights #NeoclassicalBeauty #ChangingOfTheGuard

#OverseasFlightEvent #OsloTravel 📍NorwegianRoyalPalace This is the Norwegian Royal Palace in Oslo, Norway. It is located in downtown Norway, so it is easily accessible and you can see the entire city at a glance. There is also a park, so it is good for taking a walk and you can also watch the changing of the guard ceremony.

#bucketlistreboot The Royal Palace (Det Kongelige Slott) is the official residence of the current Norwegian monarch. It was built in the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III John, who reigned as king of Norway and Sweden. On the outside, the Palace looks rather basic, very much like the Royal Palace in Stockholm. It was close to our hotel, just at the end of Karl Johans gate. A good suggestion it to visit during the Change of the Guard ceremony, so make sure you time your visit well. There are so many things to do in Oslo. This is one of the places where getting the city card made a lot of sense for us, so we purchased the Oslo Pass and made the most out of it. #oslo #norway
