Oslo

Norway’s capital and largest city creeps up on you and makes you very glad you came. Possessed of a staid reputation and by no measure Scandinavia’s most beautiful city, low-key Oslo nonetheless has lots to see and do - it just doesn’t make such a big fuss about it.

Unlike most European cities, Oslo isn’t full of architectural wonders, but some districts, such as Frogner, offer elegant examples of historical architecture. The city is also replete with notable museums and monuments, as well as plenty of green spaces.
