It is essential to enjoy it when you take your vacation to Oslo, whether it be for business or pleasure and you must not be continuously thinking about what you should or should not be doing or lounging around unsure in your Oslo hotel.

Instead, the tips below are meant only as a guide, for you to take some points from and others to ignore altogether.

Carrying maps around looking bewildered, and stopping to look at monuments or buildings, obviously shows that you are from another town and may attract the wrong type of interest.

So if you can, act a little more certain in your behavior and if you are lost, be a good judge of people. For me, you can’t go too wrong with nice looking couples or more mature professionals. But still be careful.

Do not be too flashy with your money when you have a lot of money on you irrespective of which country and place you are in. Never pull a huge amount of cash from your pocket as it will just catch other people’s attention making your travel spree more dangerous and potentially having bad guys following you.

Try to consider where you are going that day and have sufficient cash for that and any unexpected extras, plus a card. Leave the balance in your hotel safe, or don’t even bother to pull it from your ATM. The amount you take on the streets should handle all your needs only and will limit any losses if anything does happen.

Do NOT take drinks from anyone that you have just became aquainted with, especially in questionable environments as you do not know if they could be laced with any type of mixture.

It is also not a good idea to carry your original passport with you when you are roaming around. Just bring a photocopy of it in case there is an inspection. Leave the original passport in a safe place in your hotel room. Also, it’s a good idea to scan all your travel documents and upload them to a web based email ahead of your trip.
