1 Oslo

Founded around 1048 by Harald Hardråde, Oslo is the oldest
of the Scandinavian capital cities and occupies an enormous
area, with about 1 million inhabitants. The heart of the city is
largely made up of late 19th- and early 20th-century
Neoclassical buildings, wide avenues, and landscaped parks.
The city center is compact and easy to explore on foot, and
most of the city’s sights are within walking distance of each Nordmarka
other. The city is a cultural hotspot, with a large number of
museums and art galleries. The Nordmarka area of
forests to the north of the center gives a glimpse of
the beautiful Norwegian countryside. Majorstua

Getting Around
Oslo has around 60 bus and
tram routes. Most buses set
out from the Oslobussterminal
a few hundred meters northwest
of Oslo Sentralstasjon, the main
train station. Route 30 goes to
the museums on the Bygdøy
Peninsula. From mid-March to
mid-October, you can also reach
the peninsula by ferry from the
boarding point by the Rådhus.
The Tunnelbanen is most useful
for reaching the city suburbs,
