Oslo, Norway will always hold a special place in my heart, and that’s because it’s the first city that I lived in for a prolonged period of time that wasn’t named Toronto.

I actually did my second semester of my third year of university at the University of Oslo, an experience which had an immense impact on my life. It’s actually where I started this very blog in 2011, though my very first posts were long ago put into draft mode, since they were more or less a public journal, and not necessarily a guide for readers to explore.

I don’t know what it is, but as of late, I keep having people reach out to me to ask about what to do in Oslo. They’ll say that they’ve got 24 hours in Oslo on a layover, or one day in Oslo before heading towards Bergen or a hiking adventure.

I was continuing to happily give advice to readers, and then it just all clicked that it was time to write a post. For one, it’d be good to point readers and followers to it should they ask again, but perhaps more importantly, I want to write this article and take a walk down memory lane.

I can remember being in Oslo like it was yesterday. I can remember writing those first articles, and beginning to develop an eye for stories, and the excitement I felt around that. How blessed am I that I’m just as excited to write this post, hundreds of articles later?

What Should You See if You’ve Got 24 Hours in Oslo?
