ONLINE Travel Tuesday: Video Vacations

Norway’s capital city has an inviting tag line for its state-of-the-art Opera House: “Please, walk on our roof!” That’s indicative of Norwegian philosophy overall – nature is free for everyone. And they encourage everyone to take advantage of it. Oslo's Opera House is a prime example of this concept: the angled, white exterior seems to be an extension of the harbor it borders; like an iceberg rising from the fjord, it invites visitors to climb its roof to fully enjoy panoramic views of Oslo and soak up the beautiful surroundings. This compact city has it all: expanses of nature, world-class architecture, culture, history and art! The Nobel Peace Center, Thor Heyerdahl’s raft, a massive outdoor sculpture garden, magnificent city hall and stunning views everywhere contribute to this city being labeled one of the Top 10 Happiest Places in the annual World Happiness Report. Come to the Savvy Sightseer Oslo Travelogue to see why!
