Why Go?

ic, and many a visitor has been left surprised to discover that Oslo is home to world-class
museums and galleries to rival anywhere else on the European art trail.
But even here Mother Nature has managed to make her mark, and Oslo is fringed with
forests, hills and lakes awash with opportunities for hiking, cycling, skiing and boating.
Add to this mix a thriving cafe and bar culture, top-notch restaurants, nightlife options
ranging from opera to indie rock, and a large and visible immigrant community who add
their own colourful touch to the city and the result is a thoroughly intoxicating place in
which to forget about the fjords for a while.
