Experience in Oslo, Norway, by Anders

What is it like to live in Oslo? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Oslo is a small city, but still the capital. I grew up there and I can recommend the Oslo experience.

The city has a lot of parks, and the Oslo bay is beautiful. The Aker Brygge, Akershus festning and the Opera is nice places to visit.
