weekend in Oslo
 

We are arriving at Torp airport near Oslo. Anyone landed here? How is the best way to get to main area of Oslo from here?<BR><BR>We (three 25yrs) will be in norway for 3 days. What should we see and do? I would like to do a mini boat cruise, see the main sites and experience the countryside. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also should we hire a car or rely on the public transport? Thanks<BR> <BR>

Hi<BR>The best way to get to Oslo is the bus.(Torp Ekspressen) Goes from the airport to the city center in Oslo.<BR>Info about Oslo: http://www.oslopro.no/index.php?L=e&amp;S=2<BR>If you like to see the country side you could rent a car and drive. There is a lot of nice towns to visit in the area.

Here are 4 sites in particular that I believe are must sees in Oslo:<BR><BR>1. Frogner Park (full of works by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland; museum). <BR><BR>2. Bygd�y peninsula west of city center: Viking Ship Museum, National Gallery, Munch Museum, and others dedicated to Norwegian explorers, history, folk art, etc.).<BR><BR>3. 14th-century Akershus castle and fortress down by the harbor.<BR><BR>4. Just on the outskirts of Oslo, the site of the 1952 Winter Olympics -- Holmenkollen(not sure of the spelling).

Budman is correct!! Wife and I spent about 3+ days in Oslo center 2 yrs ago, and despite some &quot;marginal&quot; weather....<BR>all of these sights were very good!!<BR><BR>Have fun, and spend plenty of time at the Vieglund Park!<BR>Best wishes, Dave

Thanks. any more suggestions?

Hi<BR><BR>I found the resistance museum very interesting.<BR><BR>And ever since I've left Scandinavia, I've regretted not seeing the Kon Tiki museum.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR>

The Resistance Museum is on the grounds of Akershus Castle and there's no admission charge. It's definitely worth visiting if you're into military history!
