The Port Of Oslo
Founded around 1048 Oslo is oldest of the Scandinavian capital cities. Starting from Oslo, all parts of the county can be reached within the space of an hour.
The city centre is largely the work of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with wide streets and traditional parks and gardens. Oslo Ferries dock at Vippetangen quays which is a 15 minute walk south of Oslo. The Oslo ferry port terminal is operated by Stena Line, Color Line and DFDS Seaways.
The port is built on the Aker River, at the head of Oslo Fjord (100 km/62 mi long), which is kept open in winter by icebreakers.
The city contains a Viking museum; the 13th-century Akershus Castle, a fort and palace overlooking the harbour and fjord; Oslo Cathedral, in the main market square, a fine example of 17th-century church architecture; and the National Gallery, which includes many paintings by Edvard Munch.

Two forests surround Oslo which is situated on Oslofjord, a bay in Norway's southeast. The forests are known as the Oslomarka and Nordmarka. Due to its situation, Oslo is a picturesque city.
