Eastern Norway is the land where antiquity and contemporaneity go hand in hand. This is the land of forests which attracts those who are fond of eco tourism. And it is here that the capital of Norway – Oslo, Viking’s sea outpost – is situated. Oslo is an old trade city where Norwegian Vikings used to live. Situated at the end of the Oslofjord, Oslo is often called the green capital of Europe. It is surrounded with green forests and local air is really pure. A trip to Oslo is an opportunity to combine various kinds of rest. In winter you can ski and skate (one of local attractions is a Holmenkollen ski jump), and summer is ideal for a boat trip, which starts at Aker Brugge quay. And if you want something different, hire a car and plan your own trip around Eastern Norway. Most famous museums of Norway are also found in Oslo: Kon-Tiki Museum, Fram Museum, exhibiting the ship Fram, Norsk Folkemuseum and the Vigeland Park. Telemark county is rich in craftsmen and is one of the most popular attractions of South Norway. This region is the centre for skiing. The name of the skiing style – telemark – derives from the region’s name. One of the most popular local cities is Morgedal. The thing to see here is Norwegian Ski Adventure park.
