Sonja Henie's home town. Simply the best.
Public Metro from City to Slopes
From the city of Oslo, you can take the Metro directly to the top of the slopes at Oslo Vinterpark. Amazing! We took advantage the first day we got in; so much fun to ski on thick, clean powder!!
Family Time on the Northern Hemisphere
The best part about my week in Oslo was getting to see and spend time with my Uncle Tim, Aunt Tove, and cousins Emma and Nora. I have only known them from our family's joint lake house in the New York Catskills, and it was so much fun to see them in their home city! It is always a different experience to learn a city from those who live there. Apparently, I'm the first of our family to ever visit Oslo... and we have a large family! It hit the spot to have some good family time.
Fortress, Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo Opera, Nobel Peace Prize Museum, Snow, Snow, and more Snow!
Exploring as much as possible!
My Favorite Food Market: Mathallan
Uncle Tim's Top Reasons WHY:
Norway beats the USA (and, okay, I may agree).
Clean, accessible, efficient public transportation. Free university. Excellent food. Close to amazing landscape for hiking, camping, cross country skiing, dog sledding. Free health care. Paid maternity and paternity leave. 5-week annual paid vacations. Sure, taxes are high - but so is health care and university in the States. The cold, short days throughout a long winter are the only thing that gets me!
