Coffee Lovers Love Oslo, Norway For Many Reasons

Ask any local and they will swear that Oslo coffee at the Kfferbrenneriet branches is a magnet for all coffee lovers. But Oslo offers more than coffee.

Oslo's Charms

It would be confusing where to start your tour of Oslo because the city has several attractions you should not miss. There are museums for Viking "hunters" and art lovers who want to feast their eyes on the paintings of 118 peace prize laureates in the Peace Museum. For those looking for inspiration in the arts and architecture they should see the paintings of Edvard Munch and the museum's design by "starchitect" David Adjaye.

To explore the city, drop by the tourist information center and buy an Oslo Pass. This pass provides free transport on buses, trams, metro, and boat tours and includes free entry to several museums. Operas should also be in the itinerary. A striking opera house designed by the architectural firm Snohetta has glacier white marble roof that can be walked on. This opera house can compete with the best icons in the world.

Shopaholics should not miss the Grunerlkka district. This favorite hub of the fashionistas is the place to go for alternative clothes and gems. The best time to shop is during the afternoon and for a break drop in of the bars that offer the famous Oslo deer tapas and local and imported beer. A visit to Oslo would not be complete too if the famed salmon sushi from the Oslo seas is not sampled.

The beat of the nightlife in Oslo plays to different tunes. There are jazz bars and bars offering rock music. If you are there in the summer, try the Stratos rooftop dance bar. It's a cool place to be where the young people meet and dance the night away.
During winter, the Oslo slopes are the site of great skiing fun. In all there are eight ski centers in the city but for those who want extreme skiing adventure they can try the snow covered cross country trails in the forests and mountains.

The city is surrounded by lots of greenery and wooded hills. Nature trippers who prefer outdoor activities to the nightlife of Oslo will enjoy hiking or trekking along the beautiful trails. The scenery is straight out of those magical enchanted forests and the peace and quiet rests the weary soul.
A visit to Oslo would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything is here - exhilarating art and architecture, great food and wine, shopping hubs, stunning sights and of course the people.
