Oslo: The Perfect Starting Point for Your Road Trip in Norway

Oslo is surrounded by fjords and green hills, making it uniquely close to nature. Situated in the southeast of the country, the city was founded in the 11th century by King Harald. Today, Oslo blends history and modernity:

  • The Bjørvika district reflects the city’s contemporary spirit, with its iconic Norske Opera & Ballet building. Resembling an iceberg floating on the water, its rooftop terrace offers sweeping views, while the architecture inside and out is striking.

  • Cultural highlights include the National Museum of Architecture and the National Museum of Contemporary Art.

  • In the old Christiania district, you can stroll among Oslo’s oldest houses, some dating back to the 17th century.

  • Other landmarks include the Royal Palace, the Domkirke Cathedral (1697), and the lively Aker Brygge waterfront, a former shipyard now home to a charming marina and scenic promenades.

Oslo’s mix of culture, history, and proximity to nature makes it the perfect gateway to Norway’s great outdoors.
