About Oslo

The Capital of Norway

From the refurbished waterfront of Aker Brygge to the hilltops of Holmenkollen, Oslo offers the traveller everything they could ever want: hip cafés and nightlife, a verdant landscape (Oslo is one of the most forested cities in the world) and a culture steeped in arts and history. 

Oslo attractions are refined and laid-back. Enjoy a coffee and snack at one of the many cafés , take a stroll through the city centre on a warm summer's evening, gaze at one of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" paintings, which are on display in the Munch Museum and the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. Also be sure to get a dab of history at the open-air Norwegian Museum of Cultural History.

In June, the weather is generally pleasant in Oslo with daytime temperatures often hovering around 15-20 degrees celsius and less rain than the rest of the year. Please note that the temperature drops considerably late in the evening when the sun goes down. Although the climate is quite stable in Oslo, there are occasional days of bad weather even in June, with daytime temperatures down to 10 degrees celsius, so please remember to bring a jacket.
