Oslo – the capital of culture and nature

The combination of a capital city vibe and stunning nature makes Oslo a unique weekend destination.

The capital of Norway is located at the end of the Oslofjord and surrounded by wide open spaces, forests and beaches, but the city centre is compact and easy to explore on foot.

Oslo is a cultural hotspot, and the many museums and art galleries offer visitors a plethora of choice. The spectacular Opera House on Oslo's waterfront is a must-see. Other highlights in Oslo include the Viking Ship Museum‘s original longboats and Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream" at the Munch Museum and the National Gallery.

Shoppers throng to Oslo for tax-free gifts and often visit the cosmopolitan Aker Brygge harbour area for its high-quality shops and restaurants. Food lovers savour the capital's eateries; Oslo has more Michelin-starred restaurants per head than any other capital in the world.

Save time and money

The Oslo Pass is great value; it offers free entry to 33 museums, free travel on public transport and discounts on sightseeing, restaurants and much more.

The Oslo Package includes hotel accommodation, breakfast and the Oslo Pass  for your entire stay.

Oslo – a winter wonderland

Only minutes from the city centre, you can enjoy downhill skiing or snowboarding at Oslo Winter Park Tryvann or go cross-country skiing in the forests. Come to Oslo for a unique winter break, where you can combine winter sports with pulsating nightlife, world-famous museums, great shopping and high-class cuisine.

Pulsating nightlife 

Oslo’s welcoming nightlife is definitely worth trying. The variety of pubs, restaurants, cafés and cutting-edge clubs will surprise you.
