Visiting Oslo on a Pass Review | Is the Oslo Pass Worth It?

Is Oslo Pass worth buying in 2026? Below, a personal review of the city card opening doors for free transportation and free museum access, as well as discounted meals and shopping in Oslo.

Oslo is so beautiful! Still, a rather expensive city to visit, explore and fully enjoy.

Thankfully, magical fjords sightseeing, delicious Norwegian food and art spaces can all come with a discount when using Oslo Pass. Acting as an all-in-one complete sightseeing solution for Oslo visitors, the card easily replaces individual museum or transportation passes and discount tickets.

Oslo Pass does com with an upfront cost, but it claims substantial savings for the active tourists.

I had the opportunity to give Oslo Pass a try during November, together with my husband. We love winter trips! Therefore, Oslo was a great destination despite the cold weather. We were there for 4 full days, from Friday to Monday. But the 4 days in Oslo passed so fast that it seemed more like a weekend getaway.

Considering that on Mondays most museums are closed, we used the Oslo pass at the beginning of our trip. More specifically, from Friday to Sunday. And kept a bunch of free things to do and see in Oslo (without a pass) for a Monday morning.

The Dream of 3 Days in Hanoi & How to Make It Happen | A Jam-Packed Hanoi Itinerary

If you’re wondering what to do in 3 days in Hanoi as a first timer, you’ve got to the right place! I could only start that by saying that this peculiar city is wrapped up in mysticism, colors, smiles and kindness. It’s one of my favourite places in Vietnam, along with Ba Na Hills and Hoi An.

Hanoi is a city hard not to fall in love with. And 3 days are more than enough for that!

First of the 3 days in our Hanoi itinerary is a walk around the Hoan Kiem Lake, a place of folk tales and art. We start with a temple visit and continue by exploring the nearby quarters and most exciting attractions.

The second day is an introduction to the history, as well as political and educational system of Vietnam, while the third day in Hanoi is about the West Lake area, from Pagodas and Temples to modern-day skyscrapers.

Golden Bridge Vietnam: How to Visit Da Nang’s Most Iconic Spot

I had seen countless photos of the Golden Bridge in Vietnam, but nothing compares to seeing this architectural wonder in person.

And once you’re standing right there, right on it, surrounded by all these fluffy clouds and endless green mountains, it’s quite easy to see why.
