Racecation Review
Oslo offers a rich cultural experience for visiting athletes. After the race, explore the city’s diverse neighborhoods, indulge in its renowned culinary scene, and visit iconic landmarks like the Oslo Opera House and the MUNCH Museum. The city’s blend of modernity and tradition provides the perfect setting for relaxation and exploration post-competition.
Cost Insights
Oslo ranks among the most expensive HYROX destinations. Hotel rates typically start at $150–250 USD per night, even for mid-range stays. Dining out is costly—simple meals can run $20–30, with restaurant dinners easily exceeding $50. Public transport is excellent but not cheap, though travel passes can offer value. While some attractions like parks and museums are free or donation-based, the overall cost of accommodation and food places Oslo firmly in the premium bracket. Athletes should budget carefully or explore hostel and Airbnb options to keep costs manageable.
