Summer in Oslo

Obviously these photos were taken during my holiday two weeks ago, wish it was now though. In the first and second last photo you can see the beautiful Opera House in Oslo. It was a really modern building especially in comparison to its surrounding and therefore it really stood out. Loved the glass windows and the fact that one is able to walk on top of the building where there is an amazing view over the Oslofjord. 

Apart from the Opera House we didn't really like the city centre itself. But the areas around the city centre had some amazing buildings - as photographed - and also more inspiring stores. The harbor area was also pretty nice. We stayed at the Lysebu hotel located in the uphill area called Holmenkollen where you can easily take the metro to the city centre. Have you ever visited Oslo? xx

When in Oslo

At the moment I'm not in Norway anymore, but here some photos from last week. I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed by what I saw of Norway. I guess that if too many people say something is amazing you have certain expectations that are hard to meet. We stayed at the ***** Lysebu Hotel on top of the mountain in the Northern part of Oslo, the view was amazing (you could see both the city center and the entire Oslo fjord).

We of course went to the city center and its surrounding areas. The Opera House was definitely beautiful (I will show you some photos soon) but the areas I liked best are called Uranienborg, Vika and Frogner. The photos above are all taken over there. I loved the huge tall buildings with their charming facades, there were also many good shops in the area (Fillipa K, MS Icon AS, L'Occitane, etc.) Have you ever been to Oslo?
