“OSLO’S BEST MUSEUM”
Go on board and explore one of Norway’s definitive national
treasures – the polar expedition ship Fram!
This world famous sailing ship was built in 1892 by Fridtjof
Nansen – Norway’s greatest national hero. In addition, you
can’t fail to be impressed by our account of the first fabled and
dramatic journey through the Northwest Passage aboard Roald
Amundsen’s small but sturdy Gjøa.

Through original film footage , unique photographs and a
fascinating exhibition with information in 10 languages, the Fram
Museum tells the stor y of how men of steel and ships of wood
explored and charted the most dangerous and desolate regions
of the world – the North and South Poles. Many expeditions
went disastrously wrong – a few succeeded. See unique artefacts
and realistic models from histor y’s most important polar
expeditions.
In a spectacular film in super wide format you see vivid images
of Fram and its crew in the freezing antarctic wasteland, the
dogs they took with them and the penguins they met.
Enjoy our hands-on activity centre and chilling polar simulator
– and experience our incredible prize-winning northern lights
experience , shown ever y 20 minutes!
Café and a museum shop with a broad selection of gifts and
souvenirs.

find something you’ll love about Oslo.
TE

Enjoy delicious food at an array of
restaurants and food halls. Oslo has it
all: exciting street food and world
class gourmet restaurants.
M:
Around 5,000 concerts are held in the city each
year. Oslo is a true festival city, with
everything from music festivals, to food
and children’s events. With a top skiing
facility at Holmenkollen it’s not surprising
that so many sporting events are held
in Oslo. 2016 will see both the X-Games
and the Biathlon World Cup coming
to town.

RO
Oslo is Europe’s fastest growing capital city with a population
of about 648.000. The last few years have seen Oslo change
considerably with new landmarks and a unique skyline of
high-rise buildings which have both changed and added to the
existing neighbourhoods. Oslo has become a new hub for
contemporary architecture, a place where historical landmarks
and modern projects sit side by side. The opening in 2015 of
the nine kilometre sea promenade has opened the city up to
the fjord, its beautiful islands and beaches.

of idyllic islands and beaches just a few minutes

The majority of hotels in Oslo are environmentally certified.
To achieve the certification, hotels have to display excellent
approaches to environmentally friendly routines such as
waste disposal, water and waste water management,
energy consumption and supplier selection.
