Oslo Opera house seen from the waterfront

Welcome to Oslo

Oslo, the capital of Norway, stands as a harmonious blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty. With a population of approximately 700,000, it is the most populous city in Norway, acting as the country's political, economic and cultural hub. Oslo's location at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills, provides endless opportunities for outdoor activities right on its doorstep. The city's efficient public transport system, including buses, trams, ferries, and a metro, makes it easy to explore all its sights.

The city center is compact and walkable, with a mix of historic buildings, modern architecture, and a waterfront area that has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years. One of Oslo's most iconic attractions is the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist, showcasing more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite, and wrought iron by Gustav Vigeland. Another must-see is the Oslo Opera House, an architectural masterpiece that appears to rise from the fjord.

History and culture enthusiasts will find plenty to explore in Oslo, from the Viking Ship Museum, which houses remarkably preserved Viking ships and artifacts, to the Munch Museum, dedicated to the life and works of the famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.

Despite its northerly latitude, Oslo's climate is relatively mild, thanks to the Gulf Stream, with warm summers and cold, snowy winters that transform the city into a winter wonderland. This dynamic city combines nature, culture, and history, offering visitors a rich and diverse experience. Oslo also serves as a gateway to the rest of Norway, with excellent transport links to other parts of the country.
