For this post I have been paid by Norwegian Ministry of Tourism

This weekend I have had some Italian friends coming over and I had a chance to visit Oslo with them. Of course the pleasant company and the sunny weather have been influential, but I realized that Oslo is such a nice city. All the museums are free in winter (and Munch museum is really worth of notice), there are beautiful parks, and all the harbour area is packed with cozy restaurants, luxury boats and nice buildings. You can sit at the Opera house open cafè, directly on the sea, with the seagulls flying over you, and drinking your coffee in a relaxing silence. You can experience hippy and freak atmophere in Grünerløkka and bump into a Sunday second-hand market. Or you can take a ferry and in 5 minutes you can reach a desert island, where you can walk in the wood and lie on a rocky beach. You can choose one of the many trendy bars in downtown and go to dance. (If you choose to dance salsa, you could end up to be surrounded by Latin American prostitutes and old creepy Norwegians) And finally, you can ride a night bus, surrounded by drunk blonde girls sleeping in the corridors wearing minishirts and short sleeve shirts and get back home. Any more reason to come and visit me?
