Things to do in Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Scenic Railroads

September 19, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

The trip starts outside Oslo Visitor Centre at Jernbanetorget in Oslo city centre. We will then take the Vy train to Snippen station. This is a great train ride! We hike up to a tall hill where some simple climbing is required. The view from this hill is out of this world! You will see most of Oslo, the Oslofjord and a large part of Oslo´s surroundings. We will then stroll down to the great lake Maridalsvannet and end our trip where we started at Jernbanetorget.

Inclusions: English Speaking Tour Guide, Public Transport Ticket

I booked a day hike with Oslo Hiking through the magical Krokskogen. The trip is 25 kilometers long and can be experienced as somewhat demanding, but in return, you get an absolutely spectacular view from Gyrihaugen, going through deep ravines to the Mørkgonga and many other beautiful gems. The tour was guided by Mustafa who has both education and many years of experience as a tour guide, both from the Norwegian mountains and the Atlas mountains.

We took this gorgeous tour even without any info, but it was the best part of our trip! Well-Organised, fast and comfortable. Every point was perfectly organised with the help of guide, who told us facts about sights all the way, he pointed the best views for making photos, this is very important for me as tourist. All transport tickets were sent to us, we didn't have any problems. Next time in Bergen we obviously would take these tours. Recommend! Recommend! Recommend!

I booked a this tour from EuroRail and it was scheduled for 9/7/20. I paid €633 euro .. and NO one will help me. Euro Railways: Booking Confirmation # 1172ZM - Order # 6583897 - ETICKET PRINT AT HOME. It states on its terms & Conditions that it will refund all monies if government actions prevent it from happening. As AUS was in lockdown so was Norway. Please be responsible and refund my $900 AUD that we paid before Covid interrupted the world . Norway in a Nutshell was the advertised tour via train travel from Oslo to Bergen

The tour starts with a train ride on the scenic Bergen Railway, from Oslo through Hallingdal valley and Hallingskarvet National Park to Myrdal station. The journey continues with the Flåm Railway which is one of the world's steepest railways. The 20 km long train journey from Myrdal to Flåm gives you a panoramic view of some of the wildest and most magnificent of Norwegian mountain nature, including the famous Kjosfossen waterfall.   The Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, extends more than 200 km inland to the foot of the Jotunheimen mountains.

The boat takes you through the entire fjord out to the coast and south towards Bergen, through beautiful coastal landscape.
