  • Try Norwegian specialities such as brunost (brown cheese), fresh seafood, salmon, and fårikål (lamb and cabbage stew, especially seasonal in autumn).
  • Oslo is well suited to walking and public transport, but central-city travel may be disrupted during royal ceremonies and associated security operations.

Safety and health

  • Tap water in Norway is generally safe to drink. In remote areas, use common sense with untreated stream water, and do not assume water on boats or trains is potable. (wikivoyage.org)
  • Ticks occur in southern Norway, including around the Oslo region, and can transmit Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis. Wear long trousers in tall grass or woodland, check your skin after hikes, and remove ticks promptly. (wikivoyage.org)
  • Mountain weather can change quickly, even in summer and early autumn. Hikers should carry warm, windproof and waterproof clothing; exposed areas can approach freezing. Strong sun and reflected UV can also cause burns in the mountains. (wikivoyage.org)
