Wonderful people there ! ! !

You should try to visit old town in Fredrikstad. It is really beautiful and there is a huge open market every Saturday(and maybe Sunday too). Just take the train to Fredrikstad, and there is a free ferry that takes you to old town. Google Gamlebyen I Fredrikstad

Fortunately I have received job offer from NTNU, Trondheim, as a Post doctoral Researcher. I started my residence permit process. Meet you soon (by mid August 2019) at Trondheim.

Hi Carol, this article was written from the perspective of living here. For tourism, it’s absolutely high season. Some places such as Lofoten will be very busy. You may find a little bit more space in the cities, but you might be surprised at the ratio of tourists-locals in Oslo!

I can’t decide if things will be closed or if fewer people around make visiting then a good thing.

Hi Charlie, congrats for doing what 99% of people don’t do – coming to Norway and networking in person! The wind-down begins from week 3 in June and lasts until week 2 of August with the middle two weeks in July absolutely out of the question. But you may find startups still at work, it all depends. I would recommend mid-August at the earliest. Good luck!

I’m currently looking for work in Norway, Oslo and Trondheim – but I’m planning on taking a trip to Oslo at the end of this month to liaise with some design companies out there.
But I was wondering if you thought it a bad idea to go out in June, considering most companies have July off. Would August be a better month to go do you think?

Kind regards

Charlie
