Oslo & the Oslo Fjord

        Oslo, home of the Nobel Peace Prize, and home to Norway's royal family. Capital city; friendly and walkable, with a promenade that rivals Parisian boulevards, art museums in the park, harbor life and its own fjord.

        The Oslo Fjord, dotted with inlets and islands, with a history dating from prehistory, walled medieval towns, imposing fortresses, Viking and Bronze Age relics.

Getting Around Oslo: It's best to park your rental car at the hotel and use public transport in Oslo. Various Transportation Passes (even a combination Transportation/Museum Pass) are available for guests for unlimited use of the Oslo's excellent trolley, and subway system. The several maritime museums at Bygdψy across the harbor from the Oslo waterfront are reached by ferry and bus services. Central Oslo is compact and very walkable.

Oslo Cafι. Photo © Home at First.Getting Around the Oslo Fjord: No part of Norway is as congested with traffic than greater Oslo. The commuter rail network and ferries do provide some transportation options for those who don't wish to drive. Still, getting to the out-of-town attractions is best accomplished with rental car. Rail services to Oslo are frequentmaking it possible take the train into the city in less than one hour.
