On your trip, you can also cruise down the scenic Oslofjord. The inlet offers incredible views of coastal landmarks.

Is Oslo good for tourists?
Oslo is a popular place to travel to all year round. On the LJLA website, it reads: “Whether you are thinking of visiting Oslo for a couple of nights, a long weekend or perhaps even a week or more, you will never be short of things to do. If you want to see as many museums and art galleries as possible, you’re in luck – but we suggest you purchase an Oslo Pass during your stay.”
It continues: “If you want to be outside and take in all Oslo has to offer, start in Frogner Park where you can see a collection of sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. Oslo is well-known for attracting lovers of the arts; you can visit the Munch Museum which is home to The Scream, as well as a number of other pieces of work by Edvard Munch. Other galleries in Oslo include the National Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Art, featuring vast collections of Norwegian art from different eras.
“Another fantastic must-see (which is included in your Oslo Pass) is the Oslo Opera house, which is worth visiting for its magnificent architecture alone. Designed to look like a glacier floating on the water, you can go inside and up onto the roof for incredible views of the city. Museums such as the Viking Ship Museum and the Holmenkollen Ski Museum and tower are also well worth a visit.”
