Oslo’s rhythm of life follows that of nature. Take the metro to the ski slope, snowshoes are essential equipment, and on frozen lakes, you can twirl to your heart’s content. Enjoy the favorite outdoor activities of Oslo’s residents during a weekend.
To get an authentic picture of Norwegians, it’s best to visit Oslo in winter. Outdoor sports are an essential part of a fulfilling life for the inhabitants of this magnificent city. A Norwegian saying to remember: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.” This philosophy is deeply rooted in Norwegian culture. Do you really have another choice there? Hardly! During harsh winters with a maximum of six hours of sunlight a day, it’s wise not to lock yourself at home. Going out is worthwhile because as soon as it gets dark, the city is brightly illuminated. Countless candles burn in every café, guiding freezing souls to warmth.
