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.

Shopping

This place is the most famous deli in Oslo. Quality, not quantity, is their self-described motto, and they do live up to their words. You’ll find everything you need to create the perfect outdoor meal. Cured and smoked meats from all over Europe hang on its walls, along with homemade jams and jellies on their shelves, a wide array of sharp and mild cheeses, and, as they claim, the best smoked salmon in the world. Although we don’t agree with Sean Lennon, who claimed that it “is better than world peace.” A specialty of the house is Fenalnlaar, cured and seasoned sheep’s meat. The only beverage is beer, which is supplied by a local brewery. For your actual picnic, we suggest you take your food to one of the beaches, either Huk on the Bygdøy peninsula or Hovedøya.
