Oslo Blog Gathering gives three days of sightseeing to explore Norway’s history, culture and traditions. Now I’m happy to announce that it’s finally open for booking!
Bloggers from all around the world – including you! – are welcome to meet up and through a compact program get to experience a lot of the attractions presented on this blog over the last four years. Together with visitOslo and numerous locals & Expats I’ve provided for lots of options to visit museums & parks, hiking mountains & woods or mini cruise on Oslo Fjord as well as enjoying the pulsing life of a friendly and compact city. In the evening, you’ll be able to experience the long summer nights when the sun doesn’t set until after 9!
The Program:
18th: Participants arriving from all over the world
19th: 10AM – 1PM – Highlights of Oslo – A compact guided tour
19th: 5PM – Grand opening by The Mayor of Oslo
20th and 21st – Daytime: Free choice of Oslo attractions, some guided by locals
20th and 21st – Evening: Group outdoor activity to enjoying the long summer night
22nd: Participants returning home
Some highlights:
Oslo Pass – Experience Oslo at its best: Included in the Program fee, all participants get the easiest way to experience Oslo and surroundings! The Oslo Pass provides free travel on all public transport, free admission to museums and sights etc.
Grand opening by the Mayor of Oslo: The official opening will take place at Oslo City Hall hosted by Mayor Fabian Stang. The Mayor heads the City Council and is the highest ranking representative of the city. First there will be a 30 min. reception, hosted by the Mayor – refreshments will be served (max participants = 50!) and then a 45 min. guided tour in The City Hall.

You did a great job! I can believe how organized you are… you must be a great leader at work.
As much as I’d like to jump on board (you know me, I love traveling!) I still can’t give a reply. As you know, I started a new job last October and our schedule is set on the House of Commons and on politics for whom we work. I wait and see what 2010 will bring (hopefully, not an election!)

You were clearly made for this sort of thing, Renny. Don’t know if we’ll be able to make it this year (2010) or that month, but we WILL make it eventually. For sure!
