Oslo. Norway

Norway is where Mother Nature has made one of her finest works. Against a beautiful natural canvas it's easy to forget that humans can also create beauty, and many visitors are surprised to discover Oslo's world-class museums and galleries that rival other larger European cities' collections. With a thriving cafe and bar culture, world-class restaurants, a wide range of nightlife options, Oslo is a wonderfully intoxicating place to forget about the fjords for a bit.
