The oldest of the Scandinavian capital cities, Norway’s capital is a blend of modern style and traditional charm. Appealing architecture, spacious streets, picturesque squares and numerous cafes and restaurants give Oslo a very pleasant atmosphere. Situated at the head of a 100km long fjord, the city is surrounded by enormous dense forests.
There is plenty to see and do whether you are keen to visit the fascinating museums within the city or are more interested in taking advantage of the wide range of shops, Oslo can cater for all tastes.
Visitors can take advantage of the Oslo Pass, which allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.
I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.

Other Norway regions

Bergen and the Fjords
