When I told people I was planning a journey around Scandinavia, many people said that Oslo was the least interesting Scandinavian capital. These included my grandfather, who is of Norwegian heritage.
But let no one imply that Oslo is boring! Norway was once a poor country. Then a lot of things happened in the 20th century, including the discovery of oil, and now Norway is crazy rich. So spending 24 hours in Oslo can easily cost you an arm and a lutefisk. And we want to spend all our money in Oslo on amazing food, not our hotels. If you want a great deal on this hotel, click here.
This search engine will help you find the perfect place to stay during your 24 hours in Oslo. Internet Stranger, I can hear you rolling your eyes in confusion on this one. Why would someone want to go on a food tour of Oslo? I recommend taking a fantastic tour featuring some of the best food in Oslo.
You might not eat exactly what I ate, but it will be similar. You can book this tour for yourself easily by clicking here. Our first stops on our 24 hours in Oslo are in the Mathallen food hall.
Mat is Norwegian for food. It was pure mold and stinky feet, just like a good blue cheese should be. The other two cheeses were a goat cheese and brunost, which is Norwegian brown cheese. Ost is Norwegian for cheese. Brunost is probably my favorite Norwegian food. It has a sweet taste almost like caramel. You make it by boiling down whey and adding cream to it. Not everyone likes it because it is sweeter than you expect cheese to be, even though there is no sugar added.
