As the capital of Norway, Oslo very much represents the ideals and traditions of the nation and its people. Both Historical Museum and The Viking Planet are treasure troves of Viking Age artifacts, mythology, and heritage. SALT, on the other hand, is a cultural hub where locals and tourists can relax in public and private saunas, jump in the fjord to swim, or cheer at various live performances. Those looking to get away from the revelry can instead have a quiet picnic at The Palace Park or take a sightseeing cruise along Oslofjord.
