Our first St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin<\/a>, we did the whole thing: the parade, the pubs, the festivals, the green. The next year, when Honeybun was almost three and Sugarplum was 7 1\/2 months old, we decided to head to Oslo and Amsterdam<\/a> to take advantage of the long weekend\u00a0(St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday and day off work in Ireland).<\/p>\n

Here are the basics of traveling to Oslo\u00a0with kids:\"Traveling<\/h2>\n

Getting Around<\/h3>\n

Oslo, like most European cities we visited, is very easy to get around. We arrived into Moss Rygge\u00a0airport (on an extremely cheap fare) which is well south of the Oslo city centre then hopped on a train into the city centre. We again took the train to the airport at the end of our trip, though this time we flew out of the closer Gardermoen airport on our way to Amsterdam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are many\u00a0things in the city centre which are walking distance from one another but there is also a fantastic streetcar and bus system that we took full advantage of.<\/p>\n

Kid Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Oslo was easy enough to get around with our huge double stroller\/buggy. There were a few times that we had to lift the buggy onto the tram\/bus because the handicapped entrance wasn’t accessible but we managed. Our visit was a very snowy one but the right buggy and gear (coats, hats, mittens, blankets and stroller covers) made our visit enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Eating in Oslo with kids<\/h3>\n

We did get a few funny looks walking into nicer restaurants with a baby and toddler but our girls quickly made up for the initial shock and won over the waitstaff. While we were in Oslo, we took full advantage of the culture and tried many local specialties like bear and whale\u00a0which Honeybun tried, too. But for kids who aren’t as adventurous, there are plenty of familiar items as well.\"Eating<\/p>\n

Preparing for a trip to Oslo with Kids:<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m big on planning our trips ahead of time because traveling with kids makes things just a little bit more complicated as they aren\u2019t always very patient when you don\u2019t have a plan so I always did a lot of research and planning before our trips.
