Oslo5

In keeping with being a capital city, Norway has a number of international and home-grown specialities on offer, including a number of Michelin starred chefs.

Depending on the time of year that you visit you might get the chance to sample reindeer, salmon or even whale. For Norwegian specialities popular choices include Aker Brygge and Holmenkollen. As you might expect, some of the best seafood is to be sampled near to the harbour while those dining out on a shoestring might be well advised to visit areas such as Grønland and Grünerløkka.

"After hours nightlife ranges from a pint of beer in a traditional pub to one of the many night clubs and discos which stay open until 3am in the Downtown area. The city centre is the place to head for clubbing in general as well-known DJs come from all round Norway and abroad."

Oslo is also a great live music venue and as is particularly well known for its jazz and many venues throughout the city offer all sorts of live music.
