Interesting Facts about Oslo:
- The best time to visit is from May to August when the temperatures rise and there are surprisingly affordable room rates for the city. Oslo can experience nearly 24 hours of daylight, with the famous midnight sun usually appearing in June or July. On the flip side, there are winter days of near total darkness.
- Australian passport holders visiting Norway do not require a visa and the maximum stay allowed is 90 days.
- Smoked Salmon – Salmon is a staple food when it comes to the Norwegian diet. Using a blend of salt, dill and sugar, the salmon goes through a process of being dry cured for 24 hours.
- The paper clip made from a thin wire has long been assumed to be invented and patented by a Norwegian.
- Top 3 places to see –
- Vigeland Park – Considered the most popular attraction in Norway. Its highlight is the 212 bronze and granite sculptures created by the park’s namesake, Gustav Vigeland. People come to the park to sunbathe, picnic or just to wander the beautiful grounds.
- National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design – One of Edvard Munch’s The Scream can be found in the National Gallery building and you will see much more such as Norwegian art from the 1800s and 1900s.
- Akershus Castle and Fortress – Has been in continuous use for more than 700 years. Its primary purpose was to defend the city from foreign invaders – something it did well, as no foreign military ever managed to capture it by force.
