We Walked Into Oslo, Norway… and Couldn't Believe What We Discovered!
Sapphire Princess in Oslo, Norway and we were expecting a fairly ordinary afternoon… and discovered much more from Medieval Castle, walls and surprises we never saw coming! 🇳🇴 How could a medieval fortress stop invading armies? Why would a military commander make an almost unimaginable decision about his own city? And why were people jumping straight into the Oslofjord beside steaming saunas? Come along as we explore Oslo independently on foot from Sapphire Princess. At 700-year-old Akershus Fortress, we uncover incredible medieval defenses and visit the memorial near Norway's Resistance Museum honoring victims of the Nazi occupation. Then it's into the streets of Oslo for a Norwegian bakery, historic fountains, the Parliament building, and the Royal Palace—where one tourist gets much too close to a guard! A search for decent Wi-Fi leads us to Beer Palace, where a wonderfully welcoming bartender and some unexpected birthday wishes remind us why we love meeting people around the world. But our ship's return deadline is getting close, and we still have one last surprise along the Oslofjord waterfront. If you enjoy fascinating history, spontaneous travel, interesting local culture, and the people you meet along the way, come explore Oslo with us! 🚢❤️ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Oslo, Norway — What Did We Get Ourselves Into? 01:23 Something Was Happening Behind These Walls… 03:26 They Couldn't Take This Castle… So What Happened Next? 05:27 Oslo Has Another Story We Didn't Expect! 07:28 Would You Have Tried This? 10:30 Did He Seriously Just Do That?! 13:10 We Only Needed Wi-Fi… Then THIS Happened! 17:30 This Is the Part I'll Never Forget! 18:18 Just 50 Minutes Left… And Then We Saw THIS! ▶️ WATCH MORE OF OUR PRINCESS CRUISES https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-VWZcykBeZG_7kbyU_5T5ZkVp7k3jbmH ❤️ SUPPORT HUBBARD'S JOURNEY Become a channel member: https://www.youtube.com/@HubbardsJourney/join Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/hubbardsjourney 🌎 FOLLOW ALONG Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/HubbardsJourney Hubbard's Journey Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hubbardsjourneycrew All Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@HubbardsJourney/playlists 🧳 TRAVEL FAVORITES Our Amazon Travel Storefront: https://amzn.to/3NOggCA Our Cruise Essentials: https://amzn.to/4hs473P Some shopping links may be affiliate links; we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. #OsloNorway #AkershusFortress #HubbardsJourney Thank you for coming along on our journey
