Why OSLO

“ Every time I visit, I discover new things that make me fall for Oslo just a little bit more. ”

This vibrant capital city of Norway stands as a beacon of sustainability, offering a unique blend of breathtaking green spaces, cutting-edge architecture, and a thriving arts scene. Discover the serene beauty of the Oslofjord, the fascinating history preserved in world-class museums, and the warmth of its welcoming locals. Oslo is not just a destination; it’s an invitation to explore a lifestyle where balance and harmony dictate the rhythm of life.

Whether you’re seeking adventure in its endless forests and parks, inspiration from its historical landmarks and contemporary art, or relaxation in its cozy cafes and bustling markets, Oslo promises an unforgettable experience. Embrace the spirit of exploration and sustainability, and let Oslo be your gateway to the extraordinary.

Fjords and Forests

Oslo is surrounded by forests and fjords, providing the most picturesque backdrop imaginable. On sunny days, you can see the water glimmering in the distance through the trees.

Laidback Vibe

Compared to other European capitals, Oslo has a very relaxed and casual atmosphere. People dress comfortably, take long lunch breaks, and emphasize work-life balance. There’s less of a rushed feeling than in bigger cities, even though everything still runs very efficiently.

Cuisine

Norwegian food has a bad reputation for being plain, but Oslo is really expanding its culinary horizons. Alongside traditional specialties like fish cakes and brown cheese, you’ll find amazing bakeries, coffee shops, and international cuisine.

Architecture and History

Wandering around Oslo, you’ll come across buildings representing many different eras of architecture. From medieval wooden structures to modern marvels like the Oslo Opera House, there is a pleasing mix of old and new.

I enjoy learning about how the city has evolved over the centuries yet maintained its Nordic character. Places like the Akershus Fortress and the Royal Palace give a glimpse into Norway’s regal past. The blending of history with hip neighborhoods like Grünerløkka keeps things interesting.
