To Wrap up my time on the Study Abroad Account, I thought it’d be cool if I compile some of my favorite places I’ve been able to explore in Norway so far!
Slides 1-4: Alby Gård! This is a stunning farm about an Hour walk from where we stay in Moss. There they have a Cafe, a lot of Hiking Trails, and events like weekly 5k Runs!
Slides 5-8: Grünerløkka! This is a section of Oslo that has amazing hiking/walking trails, restaurants, and a very cool indoor Marketplace! It’s easy to get there with the train pass included in the tuition for the school.
Slides 9-12: Tønsberg! This is a town about an hour away from Moss. You can get there by taking a free Ferry ride from Moss to Horten and then a bus from Horten to Tønsberg. This town is a very cool coastal area that is home to so much Norwegian history. Here you can find the Remnants and Replicas of Viking Ships! There is a place on the pier where they make the replicas and also have a running ship. There is also a museum where they have history on Tunsberghus Castle, Blue Whales, and More Viking Ships! Speaking of Tunsberghus Castle, you can walk around the ruins of the castle and see some incredible views of the town.
Slides 13-16: Billund, Denmark! One amazing thing about living over here is how easy travel between Countries is. Denmark is about an hour flight and the tickets aren’t very expensive. I chose to go to Billund, Denmark because it is known as the Home of the Brick! I am a big fan of LEGO so this trip was a very cool experience to me. Billund had a lot for me to do! There was of course LEGO House where they had a whole history of LEGO. There is also a LEGOLand Resort with restaurants, rides, and LEGO experiences. The town itself is just a visually stunning with lots of places to walk around. There are so many options for a weekend getaway to experience a taste of another country!
Thanks for joining me this week! I am glad I got to share a bit about Norway! Good Luck with your future Travels!
