The Foo Fighters are an American rock band, formed in Seattle in 1994. It was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the death of Kurt Cobain and the resulting dissolution of his previous band. The group got its name fr... om the UFOs and various aerial phenomena that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II, which were known collectively as foo fighters. Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as fellow Nirvana touring bandmate Pat Smear as guitarist to complete the lineup. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of the group's second album, The Colour and the Shape when most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl himself. Smear's departure followed soon afterward.They were replaced by Taylor Hawkins and Franz Stahl, respectively, although Stahl was fired before the recording of the group's third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose more

4 Days in Oslo, Norway – Why Waste Annual Leave?
You know that moment when your mother in law invites you round for the bank holiday weekend and you decide to take everyone to Oslo instead?
I speak candidly when I tell you that this particular weekend break was every bit as whimsical, random and impulsive as my introduction leads you to believe, planned (in the loosest sense of the world) with a grand total of a fortnight's notice.
Easter Weekend in the UK is a cosy pocket of time for those of us who work hard and travel hard; there aren't many other times in the year when can you can enjoy a 3 night break away without sacrificing even a day of annual leave but despite this, Pumpkin and I had never previously taken advantage of Easter weekend for travel purposes.
When I realised both he and I as well as my in-laws were free for the entirety of the weekend, I pounced opportunistically to try and coordinate a long-awaited family holiday. Pumpkin's expression, when I proposed the idea, was predictable and familiar – the increasingly defeated face of an Instagram husband, wondering when the dust will finally be allowed to gather on his suitcase.
Oslo, Norway, as a destination choice, came about completely by circumstance. Everyone wanted to visit a country they hadn't previously travelled to (which ruled out most of Europe) yet we chose to stick to Europe given our limited time. A few internet searches later and I found myself booking a "bargain" weekend in Oslo but next time I dare to use the "b" word, I will be sure to do my research so I learn in good time that it is one of the most expensive cities in the world!
Unlike neighbouring capitals Copenhagen and Stockholm, Oslo, in many ways, seems to have fallen underneath the cluttered tourist radar, which makes it something of an ideal city break location; the streets are sparse, the tourist traps few and far between and the photogenic corners peppered across the city catch you completely off guard.
And to prove just how much of Norway's mystical capital city you can see with just four days at your disposal (leisurely lie ins and afternoon coffee breaks included), here is my ultimate Top 20 Oslo guide. I rarely do chock-a-block compilation posts but I was taken aback by just how diverse an array of activities I found in this city and I left with the distinct feeling that Oslo deserves far more acclaim than it receives.
It might not have the grandeur of Notre Dame but an understated simplicity and quiet calm resonate against the low-lit, baroque interiors of Oslo Cathedral.
As the main city boulevard in Oslo, we started our weekend in Oslo with an evening amble down Karl Johans Gate, which connects the Royal Palace to Oslo Central Station. Accommodation in and around this area may prove to be more costly but is an ideal location for anyone looking to explore Oslo for the first time.
I won't dwell on this too much as one day, I hope to devote a whole post to it but trust me, you need to visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park.
In fact, if there is only one sight to see away from the centre of the city, let this park be it. With countless sculptures from the romantic to the plain weird, keep your cameras charged as you're in for a visual feast of more 200 impressive statues and sculptures.
For anyone who follows the Nobel Peace Prize updates or has an interest in world affairs, a visit to Oslo would be incomplete without seeing the Nobel Peace Centre and whilst you are free to roam around inside independently, it is well worth timing your visit to coincide with one of the guided tours (included in your ticket price anyway).
With the help of the guide, we gleaned a deeper understanding about the history of the prize, the centre, the winners and the selection process.
At the end of the tour, we found ourselves immersed in a sea of digital faces, faces of previous prize winners, who tirelessly campaigned for peace and toiled in the pursuit of world peace.
Marvel at the colourful murals draping the inner walls of Oslo City Hall or, if like us, you turn up on Bank Holiday when it is closed, then you'll just have to admire the exteriors, which aren't quite as colourful!
When my father in law approached the front of the queue and saw the outdoor seating on the boat, he proclaimed "there must be indoor seating. If it's all outdoors, I'm going back to the hotel" It may have been the end of the March but to us Brits (many of whom are far more flimsy in chilly climes than we would ever care to confess), the climate felt Arctic – not metaphorically either, as we weren't that far away from the Arctic after all.
To his credit, he didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, he sweet-talked the boatmen, who gave him shelter next to them and gave him his own informal, private guided tour! Meanwhile, Pumpkin, Mum in law and myself snuggled under thick blankets provided to us on the boat, each of us hoping one of the others was taking photos, so fearful were we of our fingers losing circulation and falling off.
If you are a little more sensible, you will do this activity in the summer or come equipped with actual proper winter warmers. Being on a boat in Norway in winter (or spring apparently) is not time to be Carrie Bradshaw, ladies. Focus on packing warm!
Explore original excavated ships from the Viking era and the treasures and historic relics found within them (and discover in the process, how much easier it is to remember Viking history when faced with life-size visual aids).
You're either a fish eater or your'e not. If you're not, skip ahead to the next one of Oslo's highlights but if you're anything like me, you eat salmon by the truck load.
Aside from its health benefits and tasty flavours, salmon's versatility makes it quite simply one of the easiest ingredients to cook with so I couldn't leave Norway without trying some traditional Norwegian salmon.
Foodies – get ready to empty out your piggy banks and pack your glad rags because a meal at the Ekebergrestauranten, raised above the city on Ekeberg Hill, lends one of the most romantic views of Oslo with a side order of crisp tablecloths, succulent scallops and Norwegian and international specialty dishes.
Just off the Karl Johans Gate, there are no excuses to miss this attraction but my tip would be to ensure you see it by moonlight when it takes on an enchanting life of its own, guarded in the still of the night by a large white lion.
Inside tours of the Norwegian Parliament Storting Building are available but since we had done a very similar one a couple of months earlier in Budapest, we opted out this time.
Compare and contrast the more classic sculptures at Viigeland park with what appears to be a floating glass and steel statue in the Oslo Fjord.
Spoiler Alert: the She Lies Glass Sculpture by Monica Bonvicini doesn't actually float but from a distance, your eyes will have you believe otherwise.
There aren't many European cities where you can stand in the middle of a road in the heart of the tourist district, photograph from every angle to your heart's content and not risk being walked into by angry-faced hurried locals.
Oslo's opera house, unlike so many others that I have come across around the world, is the kind of sleek, modern, minimalist architecture you would never conjure up in your imagination when asked to picture an opera house. Brand spanking new after only being completed in 2007, Norway actually held a design competition for the creation of the new opera house.
But intentionally designed to be a space to be enjoyed by all and to part ways from the stereotypes affiliated with opera house attenders, the modern design and array of amenities were designed in the hope of attracting a greater subset of the population to the opera house.
Take a guided tour inside the opera house to see costumes being designed and behind-the-scenes workers in action and a seat in the auditorium (though again, if you're visiting on a public holiday weekend.
Truth be told, I am much more inclined to take a tour of an opera house than to actually want to see opera in one – that's just personal taste but even if you can't be persuaded to get the inside scoop, at least take advantage of the architectural design concept, which allows you to walk across the roof of the opera house and catch reflections of Oslo on the surfaces of the exterior.
Looking over Oslo at night from Ekeberg Hill left me wondering if I had entered Scandinavian Narnia with a few glimmers of electricity reminding me it was indeed reality.
The glistening night lights, interspersed like dew drops across a web of barren tree branches, kept us standing and kept us staring despite the proliferation of goosebumps on our arms.
Head to the The Royal Palace in Oslo to try and catch a glimpse of Norwegian royalty, King Harald V and Queen Sonja, who call this building home.
And if you fail at that mission (as you probably will), then set your sights on the changing of the guards instead.
For someone who admits to usually shying away from visiting museums, I have certainly clocked up some serious museum loyalty points in the last twelve months. From the railway museum in York. the chocolate museum in Bruges and the pinball museum in Budapest (more to come on that later).
But after my fair share of light-hearted museums, in Oslo, I headed to the Museum of Cultural History to try and redress the balance (and convince myself I still have what it takes to be a proper culture vulture).
Until I first visited New York City, the concept of a train station being worthy of tourist attraction status in its own right had never even remotely occurred to me.
But a snoop around Grand Central Station soon changed my stance on that and at Oslo Central station, we found chic cafes, funky blue backdrops and a pub that served us our dinner one evening. This is Norway though so expect to cough up cash for your fish and chips.
Oslo is an easy-going kind of city. It doesn't have the chaos and crowds you'll find in cities like Rome or Barcelona. It is a city where you don't need to choose between touring the sights or lounging around as there is space in this city for both. I rarely pack my swimsuit on city breaks and was a little cross with myself when I had to sit on the side lines whilst Pumpkin had a dip in the hotel pool at Clarion Hotel Royal Christiania.
I'm cheating with this last one as I ran out of time to visit this museum myself but I bumped into someone I used to work with at Oslo Airport (small world!) and she fed back saying that this museum was well worth a visit. Reportedly one of Europe's largest outdoor museums, visitors can get a feel for Norway's traditional houses, arts and crafts and even join in for some pancake making!
Norway is no stranger to tourism but from observing those around me, I have often found that the crowds are drawn in by the prospect of the luminescent Northern Lights, the magnificent panoramas of the Fjords and the winter beauty of cities such as Tromso and Bergen. Somehow, its pretty capital city gets lost in between but I hope I have managed to persuade you that it is most definitely worth a visit in its own right.
All the photos in this post were taken on the very snazzy new Samsung Galazy S7, which I had on loan for this trip from Three (perfect timing really since I had no other camera during this trip having left mine on a train in London at the start of the year.) I'm not getting paid to say any of this and it was (sadly!) only a loan but unlike all the Apple-worshippers of the world, I have been a Samsung girl for as long as I can remember, mostly because I absolutely love the cameras on them and after using this new model in Oslo, it was a serious anti-climax going back to my exhausted old S4 Mini. #FirstWorldProblem or what?!
Have you ever been to Oslo? What would you add to this list?
Like yourself, the first time I went to Oslo I was lured in by cheap flights, but little did I know that would be the beginning and end of anything cheap about the trip haha!
Definitely agree with you about Vigeland Sculpture Park, it's such an impressive area to visit. The Opera House is a beauty too, I never tire looking at it!
So pretty! I love that there's loads to see and I must say although Bergen was gorgeous, there wasn't a lot to really see!
I love an impromptu holiday! Sadly every time I find myself with a few free days, airfares and hotel rates always seem to have skyrocketed so I end up staying at home. I visited Oslo back when I was about eight and all I can really remember was the sculpture park – bonkers but brilliant!
Wow. This post is incredible. I have not been to Norway yet but when I do, this post is going to be my guide! I can't believe you were only there 3 nights. You got up to so much!
Hehe, great minds Angie – applicable to us I mean not our husbands! 😀 It was such a lovely surprise of a city, as I had really never known much about it and booked it on a whim with no idea what we'd end up seeing or doing so it was a fun gamble that ended up really paying off!
Oslo looks very appealing from your photos! The Viking Museum sounds like it would offer a good look at Norway's past. You mention the cost – we've heard that Norway is one of the most expensive cities to visit (the restaurants are REALLY pricey, as you discovered; but the salmon is probably worth it…). We won't visit Oslo, but we do get to visit Bergen, Flam and some other Norwegian places on a Baltic cruise later this summer – can't wait! Glad you enjoyed your Oslo break!
This looks like a very interesting place to visit. I haven't visited Norway before however I would be keen to someday. The architecture looks very interesting indeed. It's a shame to hear that dining is so costly though, however it does look tasty looking at your photographs!
Aww thank you so much Laura for your lovely comment 🙂 I'm so pleased to hear that you liked the post and I'm just glad that it has shown that Oslo has so much to offer because I myself was guilty of never really looking into it as a destination or knowing much about it! The food is very costly so that's one thing I would try and plan in advance next time because it was hard to research restaurants etc at the last minute but it's a great destination choice for anyone who likes fish and seafood!
I love everything Scandinavian but haven't been to Oslo yet, it's on the list though!
I'd only been to Copenhagen and Malmo before this trip Becky but I'm totally sold on Norway now. Would love to see the Fjords and to visit Bergen and some of the other regions next time!
Yeh that's the thing about it as a city, it had never been high on my list either and for some reason, it seems to fall under the radar but I now realise what a big mistake that was! I'd been to Copenhagen and Pumpkin had been to Stockholm, which I'm glad about because otherwise, we might not ever have picked Oslo and would never have realised what a hidden gem of a city we were missing out on!
Yes, I've been! I pretty much did all the same things as you did:) But I managed to visit the Folklore museum:) it was great!
Awww, I guess it's true that living in Europe has the big advantage of lots of easy weekend break options but equally, I'm quite jealous of the fact that you can get to destinations like Bali without needing to take a mammoth long haul flight! (Well not as long as ours anyway!) 😀 I highly recommend a visit to Oslo if you're ever heading towards Scandinavia – it definitely doesn't get the acclaim it deserves,as it's a really lovely city. But maybe the fact that it's less touristy is part of what keeps it so charming!
Oslo sounds like a fantastic choice after all!
I think there's a lot to be said for picking cities that don't immediately come to the forefront of our minds as obvious tourist cities Emma – it was full of quirky surprises and fun discoveries! Definitely recommend it for a super easy weekend break from the UK!
So many good things to see and do in Oslo – I especially like the look of the art and architecture.
I'd love to visit with a twin centre visit to the fjords.
That would have been my ideal first trip to Norway too Suzanne if we had been going for a bit longer. The Fjords and Bergen are meant to be gorgeous so they'd be next on my list for a future visit! Was so cold even in March though that I'm really re-thinking whether I'll ever be brave enough to do a Northern lights trip!
I'm always happy to hear such positive reviews of Oslo. That city is one of my favourite places in the world and I'm always sad when people choose not to give it a chance because it is no Copenhagen or Stockholm (I have a deep love for Copenhagen, too, and I now live in Sweden so Stockholm is always a pleasant option for a daytrip, but Oslo holds a piece of my heart). I chose Oslo as my destination for an exchange semester at the university 7 years ago and that was one of the best times of my life. That city is magical and has so much to offer. Too bad it's expensive as hell (living there as a student proved chalenging, yes :D).
I practiced good home economics skills 😀 I ended up spending more than students who had chosen different destinations for their erasmus exchange, but I loved every moment of it!
Thank you for the post! I'm going to Oslo next week (by way of the scenic train from Bergen), and you've given me a lot to add to the list!
Thank you so much for reading & for your kind comment Ashleigh! Sometimes, putting together a blog post can take hours of time and effort and it's always just so lovely to know that someone has found it useful in some way ☺ I'm so excited for you for your upcoming trip, especially because I've heard wonderful things about that scenic train ride and would love to have done it myself if we'd had more time in Norway! Have a wonderful time there & feel free to report back if you found additional things in Oslo that you would recommend too!
Thanks so much Susan! I hope it has given lots of ideas of things to see and do in Oslo!
