Out and About in Oslo

Many of the city's best attractions are located around Oslo Harbor, which is a beautiful sight with its views of the marina and the stunning Oslofjord. The iceberg-shaped Opera House is a wonderful sloped building, with a roof you can climb onto when the weather permits—and of course you can take in a performance of the national opera or ballet. The city abounds with museums, as well. Check out the Viking Ship Museum, which contains genuine Viking ships and other artifacts, or the Munch Museum, which displays the works of painter Edward Munch, including his world-famous "The Scream." There is a great subway system, so getting around is easy, and most Oslo hotels are within walking distance of a subway station.

Eating and Drinking

The local specialty is lutefisk, dried fish treated with lye, and it's something of an acquired taste. There are plenty of seafood options, and the best place to find them is along the waterfront on Aker Brygge. There are also bars and restaurants around Stortingsgata that are a little easier on the wallet. Most of the cheap hotels in Oslo can be found in and around this area too.
