Merry Christmas! To celebrate the season, I’m sharing clips, extras and behind-the-scenes notes from Rick Steves’ European Christmas. In writing the Rick Steves’ European Christmas script, I had to choose which countries would “make the cut.” I could fit only seven into the mix. Being Norwegian, I admit that I was biased…and Norway was destined to make the cut. But when we started filming, it looked like Norway would be a weak segment…so I needed to scramble.

Today is one of the darkest days of winter — and an important part of the Scandinavian Christmas season: Santa Lucia Day. All over Nordic Europe, little candle-bearing Santa Lucias are bringing light to the middle of winter and the promise of the return of summer. To capture the celebration for our European Christmas special, we traveled to Drøbak, where Santa Lucia Day brings everyone out to dance around the trees…with their crowns of real candles. Just up the fjord, in Oslo, we had one night t

There's so much to see and do in Oslo. Hop on a city bike and join my friend and fellow tour guide Pål (Norway with Pål) and me for a look at the newly renovated harborfront. Plus, we'll weave in the new Munch Museum along the way. (I've got Munch goosebumps!) | Rick Steves

It’s beautiful to look at Oslo’s fjord from the city — but it’s exciting, easy, and even more scenic to actually sail it. Just hop on a local and fully electric ferry for an hour, make a loop weaving through a handful of care-free and car-free islands with eight stops, and hop off where you like. It only costs 40 NOK (about $4), and boats leave at least every half hour. Stow away with me now as I cruise to Hovedøya island with my friend and fellow tour guide Pål (who produced this video) — and i

I find inspiration in how other countries treasure their independence and freedom, as we do ours. And today — Norway’s Constitution Day — I’m thinking of my uncle Thor, who lived through the Nazi occupation of Norway. Uncle Thor took me into Oslo’s grand City Hall to show me the huge “Mural of the Occupation” and share his story of those dark days with the visual support of powerful art. Walking slowly, with a soft voice, he narrated the story scene by scene in the present tense — as if the mura
