Oslo

Get to know Oslo

Nestled between the northern tip of the Oslofjord and the Marka’s sweeping vistas, a conglomeration of islands, forests, lakes and inlets shapes Oslo’s pleasingly verdant façade. Buoyed by a salient maritime industry, the Norwegian capital also gleams with modern stateliness, from The Viking Museum’s fascinating depictions of Norse history to Frogner Park’s lawn and sculptures, but Holmenkollen’s panoramas best depict Oslo’s synthesis of man-made and natural highlights, all worth exploring.
