The magic of Christmas in Oslo befits a romantic soul. It is easy to fall in love with the city’s shimmering fairy lights, fire crackling away in wooden houses, exclusive performances, and lively markets in the backdrop of fluffy, white snow.

Winter is a great season to visit Oslo, the snowy capital of Norway. You won’t run into too many tourists so the queues for everything are shorter, and you’ll see Christmas decorations going up as the locals get into the spirit of the holiday. There is so much to do both outdoors and inside and with tonnes of fun snow activities to do, you’ll never want to leave.

With its rich mix of history, focus on art and design and exciting Nordic food, Oslo, is a beautiful city worth visiting at least once. The contemporary appeal of the city however, comes at a cost; the Norwegian capital is one of the most expensive cities in the world and accommodation takes up a major part of any traveller’s budget.

For nature-lovers, the pristine landscape of Oslo can be a perfect getaway to soak in stunning views. If you are looking for adventurous things to do in Oslo, then horse trekking is an ideal activity to explore the mountains and beauty of Oslo.
