Regardless of whether you embrace any opportunity to rug up in the cold or are drawn to the warmth of long days under the sun, Oslo offers a year-round haven for nature and adventure enthusiasts. Tucked amongst the mountains with views overlooking the Oslo Fjord, Norway's capital boasts a unique melting pot of old and new, winter and summer, and light and dark. Music lovers will be serenaded by the city's sounds with trips to the Oslo Opera House, Museum of Cultural history and any of the 5000 concerts and festivals hosted throughout the year. Embrace all things art and history at Astrup Fearnley, the Viking Ship Museum and Vigeland Sculpture Park, or take a short trip out of the city centre and lose yourself in the wonder of Mother Nature. Effortlessly blending the convenience of a city break with the freedom of adventure on your doorstep, it's no wonder Oslo holidays are suddenly at the top of everyone's bucket list.
