Explore Oslo, Norway’s winter wonderland, in this virtual tour


If you feel like going on a fantastic holiday adventure, why not visit the Christmas capital of Norway?

In a special edition of its “Touristar” segment, “Unang Hirit” took viewers on a virtual tour around the many must-see holiday destinations in the winter wonderland known as Oslo.

From the safety of their own homes, viewers got to see what’s inside Oslo’s “Jul i Vinterland (Christmas in Wonderland),” where tourists love to go shopping during the holidays.

The market also has food stalls and a gigantic ferris wheel and carousel for both kids—and kids at heart—to enjoy.

The next stop was Baerums Verk, where charming little 17th century buildings transform into a bustling Christmas village come the Yuletide season.

Here, you can find what is known to be a Norwegian version of a Christmas bazaar, where locals go shopping for trinkets, glassware and furniture.

Finally, “Unang Hirit” stopped by the Korketrekkeren Toboggan Run, where tourists can enjoy a legit sled ride on snowy hills.

Get this: Admission is absolutely free, and you can either bring your your own sled or rent one on the spot!

There are plenty more dreamy, fairy tale-like places to see in Oslo during the holiday season, so be sure to watch the full “Touristar” segment hosted by Leencie Rioja on “Unang Hirit.” – Margaret Claire Layug/RC, GMA News
