Visit Oslo, the official marketing organization for Oslo, Norway, recently released a new ad they hope will encourage tourists from all over the world to visit the city. Or maybe they want tourists to stop coming, depending on how you interpret it.
The hilarious ad features an Oslo native Halfdan pointing out the city’s shortcomings.
“I wouldn’t come here, to be honest,” Halfdan says to open the ad before wondering if Oslo is even a city and comparing it to a village.
Halfdan complains that everything is so available and there is “no exclusiveness,” while being puzzled that you can walk from one side of the city to another in “like 30 minutes.” He is also bothered by the fact that you don’t have to wait in lines for museums and you can walk into a restaurant from the street and get a table without even being famous.
“I think a city should feel a little hard to get. It’s like a good relationship, you know. It’s not supposed to be easy,” Halfdan concludes his review of Oslo.
Check out this hilarious ad below and learn more things that are “wrong” with Oslo. So you can definitely not visit it, wink wink.
