About Oslo
Oslo, home to the Nobel Peace Prize, is the capital of Norway and the largest city in the country, where the earth generously displays its natural formations. The first establishment of the city coincided with the Viking period at the beginning of the 1000's, but the official establishment date is 1049. Located on the banks of the Oslo Fjord, Oslo, with its magical city and lake views, creates an 'out of time' urban sensation; the city is actually described as 'a city where the concept of time is tumbled'.
Due to its location in the north of Europe, the duration of daytime in winter can be reduced to almost a few hours. Oslo is famous for its salmon fish menus. The Norwegian painter Edvard Munch painted the famous The Scream inspired by the blood red color that the Oslo Fjord takes after sunsets. The figure in the painting dated 1893 is closing its ears to the insistent pressure of the natural world. The painting can be seen in the National Museum. Vigeland Park, displaying 212 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland, is one of the most interesting stops in the city.
Among the major places to see in Oslo are Opera, Akershus Castle, National Gallery, Royal Palace and Parliament Building. The heart of skiing is the Holmenkollen Hill and the Ski Museum, the only example of its kind, the Viking Ship Museum, the Fram Museum exhibiting the world's most famous pole ship, and the Norwegian Maritime Museum are among the most important museums in the city. Oslo, with its terrestrial climate, is cold and snowy in winter. The average winter temperature is minus 7 degrees Celsius. The average summer temperature is 20-24 degrees Celsius.
