The Official Guide to Oslo: Things to see and do

The official scoop on: where, what, when and why

On first sight, Oslo seems a sleepy sort of place; the city centre has a soporific air and the outlying suburbs appear to doze away contentedly. If you dig deeper, however, you'll find the languid exterior hides a vital and vibrant personality.

The Official Guide to Oslo site is a testament to this energy, containing comprehensive and very useful listings to happenings throughout the year in and around the city. Although it includes just brief descriptions of Oslo 's multitudinous events, the guide is invaluable for anyone visiting for the first time.

Browse through a range of topics, enter your dates and search the site's database for things to see and do during your stay. Families are well catered for. Puppet shows, outdoor theatres, drill performances from HM Royal Guards, summer fairs and parties are all listed here. Annual musical events cater to most ears ranging from contemporary Jazz at the Oslo Jazz festival to rock at the Norwegian Wood Festival. Whatever your interests and whenever you're going, you'll find something, somewhere on this list to exhaust yourself.
