OSLO'S EASTERN HARBOR

look to the hills

If you wish to understand the soul of the Norwegian capital, look no further than the surrounding hills. Oslo has preserved its view and access to nature by safeguarding the old forests that encircle the city. Over 1,000 miles (1,700 km) of wildlife and native species inhabit a green boundary protected from urban development. This natural fortification is just one of many actions the city has implemented as it strives to become nearly emission-free by 2030. Travel with us to Norway, June 4–8, 2023, when the sun slows its trek across the sky and Nordic days stretch to more than 18 hours.
