Wonderful stay at Heidi’s home. It’s in a residential area yet a short tram ride into the city. The views were amazing. The kids loved the trampoline and the home was very stylish. Lots of space to move about. A super market is two tram stops away from the home. Very easy to locate. Be sure to pick up your wine at the duty free shop when you land. You’ll save a bundle but also save yourself the hassle of trying to find a place that sells wine.
We took a “viking biking” day trip with our kids (10 & 7) and really enjoyed it. It’s a great way to see the city vs doing a hop on hop off bus. We took a ferry out to the Viking Museum and had ice cream on the dock while we waited for the return ferry to arrive. Although Oslo is pretty expensive we would absolutely recommend a long weekend stay to Oslo at Heidi’s home with your family.
