Oslo
Oslo - the Capital of Norway - is situated in the heart of Scandinavia, surrounded by magnificent scenery from the fjord to the forested hills. Already at the turn of the 10th century a settlement was built at the end of the Oslo fjord. During the 11th century this settlement grew into the medieval city of Oslo, an important royal stronghold, ecclesiastical centre and commercial centre. This makes Oslo one of the oldest cities in Scandinavia, and the only Scandinavian capital with an urban settlement dating back to the Viking Ages. Many historical remnants and ruins from ancient Oslo can be found in the Memorial Park.
