Oslo City Breaks

Simplicity, functionality, and a strong connection with nature – you’ll get a good taste for all the perks of Scandi living in the ice-cool Norwegian capital. Set between the Oslofjord and scenic green hills, with sea air keeping the city feeling fresh, Oslo offers a unique urban experience surrounded by natural beauty. Set out and explore the bustling streets of Karl Johans gate, lined with shops, cafés, and historic buildings, or wander through the tranquil green parks, like Vigeland Park and Slottsparken.

Along with its vibrant nightlife and quirky bars in areas like Grünerløkka, Oslo has a fantastic culinary scene waiting to be sampled. Try traditional Norwegian cuisine and fusions of international flavours at the diverse restaurants and food markets, like Mathallen Oslo and Vippa. Taste the rich stews and fresh seafood, and for an authentic Oslo experience, order the raspeball (potato dumplings) with salted meat at Kaffistova, a historic eatery near Rosenkrantz’ gate, established in 1901.

Have your camera ready for the iconic structures like the Akershus Fortress, the Royal Palace, City Hall, and the Parliament building – there’s a wealth of cultural attractions to see and snap. Delve into Oslo’s rich history with visits to renowned museums like the Nobel Peace Center, Museum of History, and Museum of Architecture, and explore hidden gems like the Mini Bottle Gallery and Oslo Reptile Park, with plenty of off-the-beaten-path discoveries to be made.

And when you’ve had a taste for Scandi life, don’t leave without seeing Oslo’s four-legged predator, which gives the city its nickname, Tigerstaden. Head to Central Station and you’ll meet The Tiger, a large bronze sculpture on the concrete plaza – there’s plenty in this super-cool city to sink your teeth into.
