From 3 September to 7 September i will be visiting these two cities. I will be landing and departing to and from Stockholm (Arlanda) and i will use bus to travel between two cities (takes about 8 hours each) with the limited options for bus hours i am looking at two options. And again due to the bus hours it is not very wise to explain my situation as 2 day each instead i look at it as the amount of hours i have to explore the cities in total which comes to about 36-40 hours. (excluding sleep and all sorts of travels). Option one spends 26 hours in stockholm and 12 hours in oslo while option two spends 20 hours in stockholm and 20 hours in oslo. Detailed plan can be seen from the images i created (Green:Stockholm, Purple:Oslo, Blue:Transportation)
I am a student on a limited budget and in my previous visits to European cities i tend to skip the museums, looking at the prices of the museums in both cities i will likely do the same here, although i might consider a daily pass in oslo (with student discount it is not that expensive and it covers a lot of places) and i wouldn't want to skip a museum that is too nice/important just because its price, so looking forward to hear your thoughts about that as well. My liking when it comes to European cities is to try to live like locals and experience the culture, for example i would prefer walking and using public transportation instead of things like hop on hop off busses. Considering these which option do you think is more suitable for me?
