Norway has been on my TODO list for many years, but I never got around to visiting it, until 2023. Finally, the world opened up, and following a European tour I finally managed to schedule something in Norway, and spend over a week in Oslo. I was hoping to also see some of the wonderful natural beauty in Norway, but toward the end of the week the weather turned gloomy, rainy, and cold, and so I headed out, hoping to come back and explore those in the future.
Still, spending some time in Oslo was a treat. Within walking distance around the center, there are many attractions, and I was impressed by the very high standard of living, and how chill everyone seemed to be. I really enjoyed taking the ferry out to one of the nearby islands, and seeing some of the more remote and less crowded areas.
Here are my Visions of Travel first impressions of Oslo, Norway, from my various walks around the town during my one week there:
