Why fly to Oslo?
There’s nothing more Scandi-cool than visiting a Scandi-cool spot that flies under the Scandi-cool radar (for now).
Exploring the sights of Oslo
A culture capital on-the-rise, city breaks to Oslo are where Nordic cool meets jaw-dropping scenery, with fjords, forests and a city that feels like it’s been designed by an outdoorsy minimalist (you’ll know what we mean when you get there). The waterfront is Oslo’s star attraction. The Opera House rises like an icy glacier, its sloping roof practically begging to be climbed for epic views, while the neighbouring medieval Akershus Fortress tells tales of sieges and ghosts. The harbour’s dotted with boats, as you’d expect, but there’s also a floating sauna – see, we told you Oslo was cool.
Culture in Oslo
Art and Oslo go hand in hand. The Scream might have found a home at the National Museum, but the city’s creativity spills into every corner. If you like sculptures, you can head to Vigeland Sculpture Park, and if you really like sculptures, you can head to Ekebergparken Sculpture Park after.
The scenery and nature of Oslo
From ancient intrigue and traditions to cutting-edge design and urban art, a city break to Oslo does it all – with the Oslofjord glittering in the background. Nordic nature is never far away, whether you want to sail across fjords with panoramic views or enjoy spruce-scented hiking trails and off-grid cabin adventures in nearby Nordmarka forest. In winter, it’s a snowy wonderland for skiing and sledding. Come summer, it’s all about picnics and long walks under endless skies. And when it’s time to refuel, Oslo’s food scene is a celebration of local flavours. Think hearty stews, foraged ingredients and fermented fish (which tastes better than it sounds – promise).
