Oslo Travel Guide

Oslo is often overshadowed by the natural landscape of more rural parts of the country, and the other largest cities of the country like Bergen and Trondheim tend to be more "typical" Norwegian. Nevertheless, Oslo has plenty of sights, good nightlife and is worth seeing.

About Oslo

Oslo covers an area of 454 square Km and is estimated to have a population of 840.000 people being the capital and the largest city in Norway. It is the third-largest Scandinavian city, after Stockholm and Copenhagen, and it forms the third-largest urban area in the region.

Clarion Collection Hotel Savoy

This hotel has a tough act to follow now that it’s joined that small, select group, Clarion Collection, which operates the superior Hotel Bastion. First, try for the Bastion; if no rooms are available there, the Savoy is a viable alternative, though it draws mixed reviews. One former guest found his room “the smallest I have ever stayed in.” Another couple loved their room, finding the Savoy “great value, great location,” the latter a reference to it standing opposite the National Gallery. Our conclusion is that you’ll like the Savoy — or not — depending on your room assignment, so be specific when booking. Some of the bedrooms are spacious and handsomely, even stylishly furnished. The building itself is classic, a traditional-looking structure that was built in the early 20th century, but has been frequently renovated since then. On-site is restauranteik, serving well-prepared Norwegian and international dishes in a smoke-free atmosphere. The soft upholstered chairs of the hotel’s Savoy Bar also attract many nonguests for evening cocktails.
