Norway's capital lies on the country's south coast, giving it an attractive location that allows its green spaces to flourish. Easily reachable with our flight and hotel packages to Oslo, this is a welcoming city that boasts a proud history reaching back to the days of the great Viking explorers. More recently, the city has become the center of a vibrant cultural scene which covers everything from underground music to some of the best coffee you'll find anywhere in northern Europe. Oslo's compact dimensions hold a huge variety of attractions, many within easy reach of the pleasant downtown. Book one of our vacation getaways in Oslo to begin your northern adventure!
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for their flight to Oslo, provided you will be in Norway for no more than 90 days. Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity beyond your return date, and be prepared to show your return ticket and proof of sufficient funds for your vacation in Oslo at immigration. A valid major credit card is the best option. Norway uses its own currency, the krone, although U.S. dollars are accepted at some major tourist centers. Oslo is six hours ahead of Washington, D.C., and nine hours ahead of Los Angeles. The largest airport is Oslo Lufthavn, 35 miles from the city, though some airlines use Torp Sandefjord Airport 70 miles away.

Our travel packages to Oslo will let you experience delicious Norwegian cuisine. Once you step off your flight from Los Angeles to Oslo, you'll realize that fish is a big part of the menu – ultra-fresh and bursting with flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, try lutefisk – rye-cured cod. Alternatively, steamed salmon soup is delicious. Lamb is a popular meat, and it makes a great stew with cabbage. Vegetarians on last minute vacation packages to Oslo shouldn't feel left out, though, as you'll find some amazingly tasty fruit – local strawberries and raspberries may be smaller than you'd expect, but the flavor hit is intense. Norwegians usually eat dinner early, around 5 p.m., so top up with an open sandwich in mid-evening. At eDreams, we're ready to satisfy your hunger for a great vacation!
