I Found an Uninhabited Island Minutes From Central Oslo
30 minutes by tram and boat from central Oslo is Hovedøya island. Uninhabited and with virtually no tourists it feels like a secret island If you've been travelling for a while, you know the feeling — you want the history and the quiet, without the crowds. This day trip delivered both: Cistercian monastery ruins, woodland paths, swimming coves, and views back to the city that stopped me mid-walk. I make travel videos for people over 50 who plan their own trips — cruises, scenic railways, river journeys, ferries and road trips across Europe and beyond. What it costs, what surprised me, and what the brochures leave out. Travel over 50 — done properly. #NorwayTravel #OsloTravel #NorwayHiddenGems
