Ready? A forest surrounds most of the city! A forest! Think about that for a second. There aren\u2019t many places that can claim that. If any!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In fact, at weekends many locals head for the trails for a hike in the summer and skiing in the winter. It\u2019s called Oslomarka, (<em>the Oslo Forest<\/em>). It\u2019s protected and is home to Lynx, Wolf, and Moose, among others! So, if you\u2019re planning to come here, and why won\u2019t you? Head for the woods!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the urban centre of the city, Oslo has a rich cultural and art heritage that mixes with a late-night party scene that matches any of its Scandinavian neighbours. Beyond the city you\u2019ll find fjords, quaint villages and stunning castles to discover. So, if you are looking for a place that knows how to have fun, is among the green list of cities doing their bit for the environment, then Oslo is for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what can do you see and ensure you make the most of your time here?

In fact, there are plenty of museums that will quench any history lover\u2019s thirst! As well as a Royal Palace, opera houses, cathedral, and parks!
