Standing as the most populous city in Norway, Oslo has a cultural richness and historical depth that captivates every visitor. Established as a trading place back in 1048 and now a key player in the maritime trade in Europe, Oslo's significance echoes throughout its streets and atmospheres. The city center, nestling at the end of Oslofjord, is uniquely shaped like an upside-down reclining "Y", rendering a distinctive environment for its inhabitants and visitors alike.

Oslo, affectionately referred to as ‘The Tiger City’, grew to be the vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis that it is today following a series of significant landmarks in its history - from the regency of Haakon V of Norway which solidified its standing as the capital city, to the revival from a devastating fire in 1624 that resulted in a splendid reconstruction, and the 19th-century economic boom that turned it into a bustling trading port. This teeming city continues to evolve, its ever-increasing population a testament to its global appeal.

When to visit Oslo

There's never a bad time to visit Oslo, with each season offering its own unique charm. Autumn paints the city in vibrant hues of red and orange, making it a fantastic time to explore Oslo sans the flocking tourists, whilst taking advantage of comparatively lower accommodation rates. The magic of the season stretches into winter, with the city blanketed in snow, the festive markets buzzing with life, and a whole host of winter activities to delve into.

As you transition into spring, the city comes alive with the awakening outdoor scene, rendering it a great time for hiking and kayaking. Summer, extremely loved by the locals, brings the city to life with open-air rooftop concerts, beach activities, and a thrilling nightlife. Even in the quieter months of November, Oslo offers indoor cultural attractions and a cosy city charm that appeals to culture enthusiasts and casual explorers alike. In this versatile city, there’s always something to enjoy, whatever time you choose to visit.
