Oslo – Norway’s capital – is the largest city of the country and the seat of the king and the Norwegian government. The city is located in the Oslo Fjord (Oslofjord) in a beautiful natural landscape.

Founded in the Middle Ages – around the Eleventh century – Oslo was soon the capital of the country, but in the fourteenth century with the union with Denmark, the city became only a province center of the Danish kingdom and it was only in the early twentieth century with Norway’s independence that it returned to be Norway capital.

Oslo is a city full of parks and museums, mostly modern, but with some interesting old buildings such as the Akershus Fortress (Akershus Festning).
