Oslo - Inspirace na cesty (2018)

Oslo, Norway’s capital, lies on the shores of the Oslofjord and is considered the gateway to one of the world’s most beautiful countries. With just 658,000 inhabitants, the oldest Scandinavian capital combines the atmosphere of a lively metropolis with the calm of a small town. Its compact centre, surrounded by green residential districts, is easy to explore on foot, while trams, trains, buses and ferries make travel to the outer parts of the city convenient. The guide presents Oslo’s main sights, including Akershus Fortress and Oslo City Hall, the city’s cultural heart and the annual venue for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. It also introduces the city’s exceptional museums, where visitors can see Viking ships, the polar ship Fram and the legendary Kon-Tiki raft, as well as Oslo’s modern architecture. Alongside museums, waterfronts, fjords and the surrounding countryside, it covers local culture and heritage associated with the Vikings, Ibsen and Munch, and suggests excursions beyond the city. Practical advice explains where to stay, eat and how to travel, while recommendations include visiting a park or the opera, taking a boat trip and enjoying Oslo’s distinctive sense of calm.
