Overall

I really liked the relaxed atmosphere in such a relatively large and diverse city. We were there in june, and every time the sun came out, the parks were filled with all kinds of people barbequeing an having drinks. The city centre is really nice and compact, but still has a little of that European capital feel to it. The pedestrian street Carl Johan's Gate is really buzzing. A very nice thing is to take a ferry out to one of the islands in the fjord. We went to an old run down café or pub on one of the islands, where they only had two kinds of sandwiches and the beer came in plastic glasses. Still, it was really charming with multi coloured light bulbs hung from the trees, and we watched the sailing boats go by. We're definetly coming back!

Great for: Skiing/Snowboarding, History/Culture, Nightlife, Family Holidays
