When traveling with liquids, there are certain restrictions that must be adhered to. For convenience and safety reasons, it is always important that you know about all these guidelines. The following are the main guidelines for traveling with liquids that you should keep in mind when planning a trip.

Liquids Rules

When boarding a flight, you are allowed to carry liquids, aerosols, pastes, gels and creams. However, all must be in quart sized bag. The liquids must be in travel sized containers that are 100 millimeters or 3.4 ounces.

While the liquids should be in a carry-on bag, it is advisable to take them out during screening.

If the liquids are more than the recommended limits stated above, they should be placed in checked luggage. In case you have liquids that raise an alarm during the screening process, you will be required to undergo additional screening.

Exempted Liquids

Although all liquids must go through the screening process, there are exemptions for medications and infant or child nourishments.

Rules for Traveling with Liquids in Inbound International Flights

Passengers may travel with duty free liquids in safe, tamper-evident bags, exceeding 100 millimeters in a carry-on bag if;

• The duty free liquids were bought overseas and, you are traveling with a connecting flight to the United States.
• The liquids are in transparent, secure, tamper evident bags by retailers and, the bags are not tampered with at the time of screening by the TSA.
• You have the original receipt for the purchase of the liquids and, the purchase was made in the past 48 hours.

All the items that you pack in secure and tamper evident bags must undergo screening and be cleared for travel. In case there is any item that cannot be screened, it will not be permitted to go in the carry-on bag. It is recommended to pack all your liquids, aerosols and gels that weight more than 100 millimeters in checked luggage.

If you’ve never set foot in Oslo, now more than ever is the perfect time to plan a trip. It’s no longer the shadow of Copenhagen and Stockholm. Now the city has a new lease of life making it attractive to stay even just for a single day. Let’s look at how to spend a full day in the Norwegian capital.

Enjoy a stroll

Begin your leisure walk at Aker Brygge, a walkway lined up with shops, bars and restaurants. Proceed to Tjuvholmen which is a town that was previously an execution spot for robbers in the 18th century. It is characterized by swanky apartments, office buildings, upscale restaurants, a supermarket as well as a pebble beach. Across the harbour, lies Akershus Fortress, a reinvigorated castle that has served several uses over the years.  If you have a keen interest in ancient history find your way into the museums, otherwise just survey the grounds and enjoy the stunning views across the sea.

Vigeland Sculpture Park

While it’s some way out of the central business district, Vigeland Sculpture Park is definitely worth the short ride on the convenient metro system. The park is full of the life’s work of Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. There are over 200 bronze and granite sculptures depicting everything from irate children to pensive pensioners. At the center of the park is a 14-meter tall monolith, believed to depict the human desire to reach out to a higher deity.

Oslo Opera House

The Oslo Opera House, just like the Norwegian nature is free for everybody to walk in. It is located in the Bjørvika neighbourhood right in the middle of the city. Typically, you are likely to be apprehended if you walk on rooftops. However, the marble-embellished roofing of this building is truly a gorgeous surface designed to be walked on. Furthermore, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of Oslo, all year round. Below your feet, there are 3 unique designed stages, countless public rooms and halls to walk around, and a lively workplace for over 600 opera and ballet performers.

Where to eat, drink and shop

Eating in the city center can prove very costly. The best option is to take a short walk to the east of the river to the suburb of Grunerløkka. Similar to New York’s Williamsburg or London’s Shoreditch, this suburb offers an affordable alternative to the expensive city center. This area is the college part of the city. It features an excellent blend of hipster and young family vibes. It is home to trendy restaurants and cool bars and clubs. Previously an industrial area, it is now one of the fast growing districts of Oslo.

For your shopping needs, you can shop from any of the independent clothing stores clustered in this neighborhood around Markveien and Thorvald Meyers gate. If you came with your kids, you can treat them to some wonderful Scandinavian designs at Lillemonster and Liten & Tøff.

Before you head off to cruise the fjords, considers spending at least a day in Oslo and sample what the city has to offer.
