Norway's capital sits at the head of a fjord, ringed by forest and dotted with world-class museums and bold modern architecture. You can swim off the harbour islands, walk the roof of the Opera House and be hiking in the Nordmarka woods within half an hour. Most sights cluster within an easy walk or a short tram ride of the centre.
