Welcome to the Port of Oslo!

The Blue, the Green and the City in Between

Oslo is beautifully situated at the very head of the spectacular Oslo Fjord. The proximity of the great and vastly unspoiled nature lends a special atmosphere to the city. The city centre of Oslo is relatively small and compact, with most attractions within walking distance. Karl Johan is Oslo’s main street. A walk from one end to the other will take you past Oslo’s cathedral, Norway’s parliament, the Grand Hotel where Nobel Laureates sleep and finally up to the Royal Palace at the top of the hill.

The city centre offers a wide selection of museums and galleries and an unusual variety of affordable bars, cafés and restaurants – six of them with Michelin stars. In summertime, the harbour-side Aker Brygge complex is a very charming and lively area. It was originally an old dockyard that has now been converted to outdoor pubs, restaurants, shops and upscale apartments. Enjoy a walk along the waterside where locals and visitors mingle.

What's the Weather Like?

Statistically speaking, Oslo is Scandinavia’s sunniest capital with an annual average of 1691 hours of sunshine, and a total presipitation of 763 m.m. (30 inches). Spring, summer and autumn temperatures may be compared to those in the New England states in the USA, Brittany in France or Galicia in Spain.
