I went to Timeless tattoo in Oslo as my daughter recommended them highly and I have to say it was an extremely relaxed professional and painless experience. Andrea, from Rome, did the work for me and was extremely professional and fast. I actually enjoyed the whole thing and can't recommend them to highly. A friendly and supportive group of people there always to happy to show their body art and discuss any element of the process. Do it.

Amazing museum with a view of the city at the waterfront, also right and right next to the only…read morebeach in Oslo, very tiny little staccato...according to our guide person. Well the museum is about Munch and his works, especially the "scream" ones. Three version in a dark room within a room that only shown one at a time in 30mins rotation. Sure it is a well known work but his others works are equally or some can be greater from my perspective. His work is only shown 1/3 or even 1/4 of the museum. The rest are many varies exhibition that both enjoyable and you can take part into it. It's a modern building and quite unique architecture but nonetheless, it's very lively vibe and a lot of folks are visiting so plan ahead of time and get your tixs in advance if you can. Definitely a must checkout place.

We spent 1 and a half hours here and certainly didn't read everything.

The most impressive is that they have the actual ship in the museum, where you are able to go inside and see all the decks and the places where the crew would have been living in. There is also a separate connected building that similarly displays the Gjoa. This area is less traversed, but it was still a very interesting read! Would highly recommend trying to fit this into your schedule!

The perfect place to start or end a Sunday walk around Bygdøy. Take bus number 30 and get off at Bygdøynes stop. Follow signs to the Holocaust centre. From the cafe, there is a path that takes you directly to Huk (5 minutes walk). It is difficult to find from the opposite direction (from Huk). This is my new favorite place!

Great castle with great history details in it. There is a church, burial site, dining halls,…read moreevents halls, royals bedrooms, dungeons and among others. Worth checking out for sure.

The large crab apple tree planted in the center of the large lawn was so abundant that there were tons of over ripened ones that had fallen all over and littered the lawn. This caused a bunch of bees buzzing around them on the lawn. There are also a lot of tourists walking the outer grounds of the castle, stopping to pose next to the cannons. The views of the ocean and blue skies are noteworthy. It was worth the long walk from the hotel.

Highlight of our Oslo trip hands down!…read more There are indoor and outdoor exhibitors, making this museum agreeable to whatever the weather has in mind for the day. While the indoor exhibits are fun and educational, my family and I found the outdoor displays especially interesting and fun. Tons of photo opps, and lots of places with shade if you're worried about sun exposure. Inside there are even legos and books (in Norwegian) for children. Be sure to look for: -Kong Oscar church (absolutely beautiful) -the horses! -staff dressed up in traditional Norwegian clothing Keep in mind: -outdoors has some inclines (not the most stroller friendly, but doable) Tip: bring a selfie stick to get some photos in front of some of the very tall outdoor displays!

P.S. and of course no need for me to tell you to buy your own candy and soda from elsewhere because well 1) we're in a movie theatre and 2) it's in Norway, so you'd basically pay 700 dollars for a piece of gum. :P
