Norway may be the land of vast, glacial landscapes and nerve-tingling natural beauty, but its cities also have a lot to offer anybody looking for a European getaway. Whether you’re after traditional cuisine; museums and galleries that chronicle the history of the country; the chance to visit iconic buildings; or the simple pleasure of strolling around the streets to soak up the atmosphere, Norway city breaks have something for everyone. In the country’s capital, Oslo, take a walk along the river - a beautiful route no matter the season - and pop into the incredible market for a taste of locally-grown ingredients and classic recipes alongside more modern fare. Afterwards, get the train a little further out to the Holmenkollen Ski Museum to learn about the history of Norway’s best-loved sport, and even try your hand at cross-country skiiny your way back to the city. For something a little different, visit the smaller but equally lovely city's of Drammen, Tromso, Alesund or Bergen where you’ll have a very different experience of city life served with a dollop of natural beauty and an outdoorsy lifestyle that are synonymous with Norway.
