The port town of Oslo is the capital of Norway. The city is beautifully situated at the head of Oslo Fjord surrounded by forested ridges, and this very location gives Oslo unexpected qualities for a national capital. Seek out food for thought in the numerous museums and galleries including the Viking Ships, the Folk Museum, Vigeland Park of Modern Sculpture and the Munch Museum. For a taste of Oslo in days gone by, the Royal Palace and the Cathedral should be high on your list of things to see.
