Oslo is an interesting Scandinavian capital located on the Oslofjord. The city is heavily forested and full of museums, parks, and a 700-year old fortress. An excursion to the Bygdøy Peninsula gives a visitor a close look at Viking and Norwegian explorers from ancient times and from the 20th century. If your Baltic or fjord cruise includes Oslo as a port of call, you are in for an interesting day ashore. Click on the links below to see and learn more about Oslo.
