When to go to Oslo?
Oslo's Opera House rises out of the fjord like a sheet of white marble, and its roof is a public walk with the water on every side. In Vigeland Park, granite and bronze figures wrestle, embrace and grow old along a single axis. Munch's The Scream, the Viking ships and the Kon-Tiki raft complete a capital that keeps its explorers close at hand.
