Two hours in Oslo Walking Tour

Two hours in Oslo Walking Tour - Travel for a Living

You know I love a city trip. And whenever I have a stop-over somewhere for work, I try my best to see as much as possible. My recent trip to Oslo was no exception. Although I would only be staying for one night, I was determined to see it all. After all, Norway’s capital has plenty to offer. To make the most of the limited time I had, I put together a two-hours in Oslo walking tour. I knew I wouldn’t be able to see it all. But two hours in Oslo would be sufficient for a nice overview.

This wasn’t my first trip to Oslo. I had been twice before. Always for work, and always with limited time. Also, the last two times were in the middle of winter, so I was looking forward to seeing Oslo in summer this time.

Visiting Oslo for the first time

Somehow I’ve always neglected Nordics as a travel destination (despite actually really wanting to see them). Therefore covering maternity leave for a colleague and occasionally going there came as a nice perk of the job. As one of my last trips in 2017 I had my first ever trip to Norway… for work only, but nevertheless. And thanks to things going anything but planned, I ended up with an extra night there, although without actually seeing a thing (if you don’t count hotels and airports). So I was delighted when Norway showed up on my travel itinerary again for January. The prospect of actually visiting Oslo for the first time and staying the night and not just changing flights there got me rather excited.

Things to know about connecting flights

Things to know about connecting flights - Travel for a Living

Last trip was a trip of firsts. First ever trip to Norway. First ever flight with Norwegian Air and SAS. And – believe it or not – my first ever connecting flight. Yes, I am as shocked as you are. Despite being a frequent flyer, I have never before changed planes. I have had days when I took a flight in the morning and then continued with another flight in the evening, but never direct transit. So here I was. Ready to do this not once, but twice in as many days. No better time to tell you all the things to know about connecting flights.
