OSLO

Compared to other Scandinavian capitals, Oslo is a welcoming and somewhat provincial city. Few tourists come here but that doesn't mean they won't find what they deserve. Located on the Aker River at the top of the Oslo Fjord, Norway's capital has modern architecture, hundreds of lakes, plenty of parks, world-class museums, and public statues almost everywhere. Its skyline is attractive and colored by the reflections of the sea reflected in the stained glass windows of modern buildings.
