"When it comes to aesthetics, Oslo splits opinion among travelers-its hodge-podge of thoroughly modern architecture often losing out to more traditionally charming towns such as Bergen, Trondheim, and Tromsø as the prettiest places to visit in Norway. But don't write the country's capital off just yet. Among the skyscrapers are plentiful green spaces, cool shopping streets, and a slew of excellent museums to rival any you'll find in Europe-including the Munch museum,"
"where Edward Munch's The Scream resides, as well as a host of maritime and Viking exhibits. Plus, a quick drive from the city center will find you immersed among the landscape's expansive fjords and towering mountains, meaning a break here easily ticks off both scenic and city break boxes in a single weekend trip. There are plenty of cool design-led hotels throughout the city, but for a private stay away from the tourists, booking your own Airbnb is the way to go."
