Oslo, Norway

Oslo Norway

Oslo is lively and modern with a mix of architectural styles, cutting-edge nightlife and world-class museums. Situated between the Oslofjord and the forests, nature is at the heart of the capital, where you can sail, ski and hike to your heart's content just a short distance from the city centre. This is definitely a spot for outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts. As you sail past lush green islands and towering rocky outcrops, the city unfolds before your eyes - spreading out from its compact centre around the quays to the forested sides of the surrounding hills. Made all the more beautiful by its diversity, Oslo boasts a mishmash of modern and ancient buildings that give the city a varied feel, with the steel-and-glass Munch Museum giving way to the old-world charm of the City Museum and the rugged medieval walls of the Akershus Fortress, which looms over the fjord. Most visitors will find themselves torn between Oslo’s numerous museums, which offer something for nearly every taste: a face-to-face with the haunting image of Edvard Munch’s The Scream at the National Gallery, a chance to stand in the shoes of an Olympic ski-jumper at the Holmenkollen Ski Museum, or a glimpse into history and culture at the unforgettable Viking Ship, Polarship Fram or Folk Museums on Bygdøy. And Oslo is certainly the cosmopolitan heart of Norway, with a rapidly growing café and bar culture, top-notch restaurants, and nightlife options ranging from world-class opera and jazz to indie rock. The capital’s thriving restaurant scene has seen it awarded with four Michelin stars. The Grünerløkka district is close to the Munch Museum and is teeming with bustling little pavement cafés and stylish bars. A thriving, truly lively city, the cosmopolitan heart of Norway really does have something for everyone.
