Oslo is the capital of Norway. Chances are, if you are going to Norway, Oslo may not be your primary target, as Norway's nature is more exciting in other parts of the country. Nevertheless, Oslo has plenty of sights, good nightlife and is worth seeing. Oslo, with its approximately 453 square kilometers, is one of the largest capitals in the world by area. Granted, most of this is forest, making Oslo a city in close contact with the nature surrounding it. Oslo is situated in an amphitheater like setting, with the city centre in the bottom close to the Oslo fjord, and residential areas stretching uphill from there in all directions. Behind the residential areas, the forested area of Marka (Nordmarka, Ostmarka, Lillomarka) extends, with flora and fauna that is quite extraordinary for a city of this size. Elk are commonplace (easily spotted in winter), and the area is also part of Norway's wolf reserve (even if they rarely come here).
