THE CITY
dalbera
The capital of Norway is called "The Green
Capital" because of all the beautiful
parks. Oslo is situated in a fjord
surrounded by forest-covered mountains.
Around the fourteenth century it had a
population of 3.000 and was the home of
King Hkon V-famous for his Akershus
Castle and Fortress. In 1624, the city was
destroyed in a large fire. Denmarks King
Christian IV rebuilt it, but renamed the
city Christiania. In 1925, the name was
changed back to Oslo. In the 19th
century, Oslo experienced many of the
same changes as other large cities across
Europe. Industrialization made its mark on
the Akerselva district, and the city grew
quickly.
The central parts of Oslo, around the Karl
Johans Gate boulevard and the Royal
Palace, are simply referred to as
Centrum-the centre. Noteworthy sights in
this area are the Stortinget Parliament
building and Oslo Cathedral. Akershus
castle and fortress are located in the heart
of the city right next to the Oslo fjord.
Another big tourist attraction is Aker
Brygge, right across the water from
Akershus fortress. Here you can find
restaurants, shopping malls, cozy
promenade areas and the terminal for the
Nesodden boats.
Kvadraturen is a historical area with
seventeenth century Danish buildings not
far from there. Trendy Grnerlkka district
at Akerselva, offers some of the better
bars and shops. Neighbouring Grnland is
known for its colourful and multicultural
range. Frogner and Majorstuen, in western
Oslo, are fashionable parts of the city
with shops and restaurants that attract
many people.
DO & SEE
Quistnix!
The norwegians are active, in many ways.
They are sporty and happy, and you can
see this if you make the trip out to the
lake Sognsvann. During the winter there
are skiers everywhere, and in the summer
many people walk or run the
approximately 3 km around the lake.
Surrounded by nature and fresh air!
Another favourite is Bygdy, a peninsula
not far from the district Frogner. Here are
many popular museums, a few examples
