On my Scandinavia trip in May and June 2004 I stayed 4 days in the Norwegian capital Oslo. It has about 510.000 inhabitants and is the oldest of Scandinavia's capitals.
Oslo is surrounded by mountains and situated at the head of Oslo Fjord, whose many islands are nice places to explore the Norwegian nature. Among the most popular attractions of the town is the famous Holmenkollen ski jump tower and the sculpture park Vigelandsparken.
Compared to other Scandinavian capitals Oslo has a very multicultural society and therefore offers a vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

Lovely Oslo-page! Unfortunately all the rabbits on Gressholmen have been killed because they destroyed the island...really a pity, I loved to feed them! | deecat Fri Jun 26, 2009 23:32 UTC
My favorite tip was about the black bunnies {I used to have a house bunny!] Great warning, culture tips, helpful information, and great transportation tips. Excellent. | kenHuocj Sun Sep 7, 2008 18:57 UTC
