    Definitely recommend Oslo!

    Oslo was really cool. It was a bit windy but that's expected. We were there for 16 of Mai which was really cool to be a part of the parades and festivities. Oslo was much smaller than I thought and that made it easy to explore. The Holmenkollen Ski Jump was amazing to see. The views of the city from up there were incredible. I highly recommend visiting Oslo.

    Insider Tip:Know a local and just explore. I have friend who lives outside Oslo and he helped showed us around. He also speaks Norwegian so that made it much easier too.

    I have no idea about OSLO

    I regret that I should cancel my trip to Oslo due to lack of time. I hope someday it will be realized.

    Hmmm...

    It is worth visitng (a couple of days maybe) but definately not the best European city for a backpacker. The city itself is not very interesting to explore and rather boring. It is very expensive to eat and drink even with just buying the basics and no luxeries. Alcohol is VERY expensive, so even just for a social drink with friends, you would have to spend eight euros on one pint of beer. The cost of everything is very high. Though the fjords are very beautiful and it is lovely and very easy to walk from t

    Insider Tip:Buy food at little shops to save money. It is very expensive to eat out, even buying a coffee in a cafe is expensive.

    Oslo

    There are somethings worth doing in Oslo, its a very compact CDB, with the standard Capital attractions in Europe. Palace, Museums, University and the Opera House, some of the more interesting things are a bit further out of town like the Ski Jump as an example, Norway is a great country to for its natural beauty so a couple of days is all you need in Oslo.

    Insider Tip:Supermarkets or bakeries are the best way to eat, avoid the fast food restaurants or you will be quickly spending $20 on not so much.

    Too brief for a thorough review

    This was just a brief stop after a cruise through the fjords en route to Denmark. I was only in Oslo for one night and it rained enough that I couldn't really get out to see anything. It's expensive.

    Insider Tip:Since I couldn't get out to look around and was there so briefly, I'm rating it as Average since they don't have a better option.
