This Norwegian capital sees full days of sunlight in the summer, while in winter it’s covered in permanent dusk. The gateway to Norway’s most scenic forest, lakes and trails, Oslo has plenty to offer the urban tourist as well. Take a day strolling around the medieval architecture and old churches, and visit the Edvard Munch museum, or the huge Akershus Fortress on the seafront. In town, take in the vibrant cultural scene with excellent dining, fine theaters, and many cafes and pubs.
