About Oslo and Oslofjord

Norway's capital city, Oslo, nestles at the end of the Oslofjord surrounded by hills and islands. Oslo blends skilfully tradition and modernity. The iconic Oslo Opera House on the waterfront sits a short distance from the Akershus fortress and the Old Town Hall dating from 1641 is a stroll away from the Akrobaten pedestrian bridge, a near-futuristic construction of steel and glass. Much of Oslo is within walking distance from the centre and you can explore happily on foot for much of your stay. You'll notice that cars are very much absent from the centre and that trams are a very easy way of reaching places on the outskirts. A fast train serves the airport and there are numerous ferries from the harbour in front of the town hall that take you to the islands in the fjord and to historic villages along the coast.

Highlights of Oslo

Waterfront, Opera House, Akershus Fortress, Norwegian Resistance Museum, Frogner Park, Bydoy and its museums, Oslo city museum, Fjord cruise

Cultural highlights of Oslo

Munch museum, National museum, Viking Ship Museum, Kon-Tiki Museum, Astrup Fearnley Museum

Festivals of Oslo

Norwegian Wood music festival in June, Oslo World music festival, Christmas, Easter, Oslo Medieval Festival at the end of May, Oslo Chamber Music festival held in August, Oslo Jazz Festival held in August, Holmenkollen ski festival

Gastronomy of Oslo

Seafood of all sorts as well as game
