The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Lisbon (LIS)
Connecting the fjords to the seven hills is a comfortable mid-range journey.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As one of Europe’s most efficient airports, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. Enjoy the duty-free shopping and dining options before boarding your flight south.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight typically takes approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes. It is a relaxing journey that crosses the North Sea, the English Channel, and the Bay of Biscay before descending along the stunning Portuguese coastline.
- Arrival in Lisbon: You will land at Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS). Uniquely for a major capital, the airport is located right inside the city limits. This means you can be in the historic center or your hotel room within 20 to 30 minutes of leaving the terminal.
Destination: Lisbon – History, Light, and Flavor
Lisbon (Lisboa) is a city of light. Its limestone buildings and cobblestone streets reflect the sun in a way that captivates photographers and artists.
- The City of Seven Hills
Lisbon is famous for its topography. The historic Tram 28 rattles up steep gradients to the Alfama district, the oldest part of the city. Here, you can get lost in a maze of narrow streets, listen to Fado music, and enjoy breathtaking views from "miradouros" (viewpoints) like Santa Luzia. - The Norwegian Connection: Bacalhau
For Norwegians, the local cuisine offers a surprising connection. Portugal is the world’s largest consumer of salt cod (bacalhau), much of which comes from Norway. Tasting the local variations of "Bacalhau à Brás" or "Bacalhau com Natas" is a culinary must—a taste of home prepared with Mediterranean flair. - Day Trips to Sintra and Cascais
Lisbon is also the perfect base for exploration. A short train ride takes you to the fairytale palaces of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, or to the seaside elegance of Cascais and Estoril, offering beaches and fresh seafood.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Time Zone: Unlike most of Continental Europe, Portugal is in the Western European Time zone (WET). This means it is 1 hour behind Norway. Remember to set your watch back upon arrival.
- Footwear: Lisbon is paved with beautiful but slippery limestone cobbles (calçada portuguesa), and the hills are steep. Leave the high heels at home and pack comfortable, non-slip walking shoes.
- Airport Transport: The Metro (Red Line) connects the airport directly to the city center efficiently and cheaply. However, for door-to-door service, ride-sharing apps are widely available and very affordable compared to Norwegian taxi prices.
- Weather: While winters are mild compared to Oslo, Lisbon can be rainy and windy from November to February due to the Atlantic influence. Summers are hot and dry.
