The Oslo Region is an almost perfect balance of city and country. Surrounded by forested hills to the north and east, the exciting capital city of Oslo sits in a kind of natural amphitheater. You'll enjoy its special spark of culture and history featuring more than 50 museums, many art galleries, opera house, Nobel Peace Centre and world-class dining and shopping. There's also easy access to outdoor activities in nearby Lillehammer, scene of 1994’s Winter Olympics, the resort of Trysil or you can immerse yourself in the nature and scenic wilderness of Hedmark.
