Oslo is the capital and largest city in Norway. Overshadowed by the natural landscape, Oslo assimilates the lush forests, fauna, and snowcapped-mountains into the power that is its appeal. You can cross-country ski at Oslo’s Frognerseteren or skate at Narvisen Rink in winter. With the melting of the snow, Oslo’s winter wonderland transforms itself into a summertime dream. Set sail through a maze of green islands on a Fjord cruise. Visit the Botanisk Hage or botanical garden, Oslo’s oasis which will inspire you with its beauty. Oslo’s past awaits you at a medieval castle called Akershus Fortress where you can take a guided tour through this 13th century portent. Quench your thirst at Lekter’n maritime open-air restaurant where you can relax in a sun bed by day; by night, Lekter’n works a little magic and becomes the trendiest hotspot with a DJ to entreat you amid large sails, heating lamps and a nightly barbecue. Winter or summer, Oslo will fulfill your fantasy vacation.
Oslo’s Highlights:
Frogner Park: This is the biggest park in Oslo and is great for picnicking, running, cycling or getting together with friends for a barbeque.
Vigeland Sculpture Park: Considered Oslo’s most visited attraction, there are over 200 sculptures to assuage your curiosity.
Viking Ship Museum: Go back in time and witness an integral part of Norwegian history. Here you will find the three best known preserved Viking Ships dating back to the 9th century.
The Royal Palace: Visitors tend to like watching the daily change of guards at 13h30. There are guided tours in English.
Tusenfryd Amusement Park: Bring the whole family and enjoy a day of fun and food at this enormous park. Make sure to ride first and eat later as the rides can be very exhilarating.

There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part they’re a conservative lot. That’s about to change, though, if the opening of the First Hotel Grims Grenka, ...
In spite of the rich history of modernist Scandinavian design, there’s nothing terribly modern about Norwegian hotels. The best bet in Oslo is to forget about hipster hotels and live it up at the century-old Hotel Continental. It’s a grand hotel of the classic old style, family-owned since 1900, and though it’s no museum piece ...
