๐ก About Oslo
Oslo, the capital of Norway, sits at the head of a spectacular fjord ringed by forested hills, a compact and green city that has transformed in recent years into one of Scandinavia's most exciting cultural destinations.
Its stunning modern waterfront is anchored by the sloping marble Opera House, which you can walk right up onto, and the striking new Munch Museum, dedicated to the painter of The Scream, Norway's most famous artwork. Sleek design and clean lines are everywhere.
Oslo is a gateway to Norway's wild nature โ within minutes you can be hiking, sailing or, in winter, skiing straight from the city. Rich from North Sea oil yet deeply committed to sustainability, it is one of the world's greenest and most liveable capitals.
