Welcome to Oslo!

Hope you'll have a wonderful time. Although nicknamed "the Tiger city" by one of our greatest writers, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, because it at the time seemed like a dangerous city that would eat a poor country boy alive, Oslo is one of the safest (but unfortunately also one of the most expensive) capitals in the world. Here you will find helpful information on sightseeing, living and working in Oslo as well as Oslo images from all seasons.
