Travel destination tips to help plan your holiday
When researching my next holiday destination I prefer to read content written by people who have visited the location or live there. The last of the travel tips posts features useful advice on travelling to France, Australia and Switzerland.
Five France travel tips

1. If driving you must have original documents, i.e. car licence, insurance & V5. Copies not accepted. 5. Remember to get a visa; they’re easy to apply for online.
Thanks to Stu, Mark and Lucy for sending in these travel tips. Now it is your turn, what tips would you add to this list? The tips must be destination related and the best will be featured in a PDF guide, available for download next week and will also be distributed in the next issue of my newsletter.
Oslo tip. I’m pulling this from the above linked page, but I’ve been to this mausoleum at least 4 times now with friends/family that are visiting and it’s definitely one of Oslo’s best kept secrets. Only open 4 or 5 hours on Sunday afternoons, so plan well!
” At least equally impressive as his brother Gustav’s sculptures is the mausoleum of Emanuel Vigeland. It’s not very well known, in part because it is hidden away in the middle of a residential area, but mostly because it is only open for 4 or 5 hours a week on Sunday afternoons. The museum’s main attraction is a dark, barrel-vaulted room, completely covered with fresco paintings, depicting human life from conception till death, in dramatic and often explicitly erotic scenes. The museum is located at Grimelundsveien 8 in Oslo. Take the T-bane (metro) no. 1 towards Frognerseteren to Slemdal station. It’s 7 minutes walk from there. Or bus no. 46 to Grimelundsveien, 5 minutes walk. There are parking facilities outside the museum.
