CITY IN BRIEF

Between the beautiful Oslo fjord and the charming forests lies the Norwegian capital.

Oslo has fantastic scenery and an unspoilt environment, with fresh air and clean water. The city has a more pleasant climate than its latitude should indicate, due to favorable help from the Gulf Stream, and protection from Atlantic rainfall by mountains.

Oslo is known for being a city of contrasts. Natural surroundings, varied architecture, and famous attractions contribute to the city's unique atmosphere.

With only 600 000 inhabitants, the centre of Oslo is small and compact, and most hotels, meeting facilities, shopping areas, and entertainment offers are within walking distance.

Oslo has 12 000 hotel rooms, purpose-built, state-of-the-art facilities for up to 6000 persons and professional conference services at all levels.

Easily accessible, Oslo is served on a regular basis by 39 airlines, with daily nonstop flights from major cities in Europe, as well as from an increasing number of international destinations. Oslo Airport is located 50 kms from the city centre, with an express train linking it to the city centre in 19 minutes.
