Oslo’s Beauty and Geography
Oslo is the capital of Norway. Oslo’s beauty and geography has amazed all visitors and its population. This beautiful city is situated at he head of the 60 mile long Oslo Fjord, on the country’s south-eastern coast. The numerous pine clad islands and the high hills which surround the City on three sides, give the area distinctive charm. Oslo covers 175 square miles within its city limits and, as such, is one of the world’s largest capital cities. However, this area consists mainly of farmland and forests as well as 340 lakes, and with a population of only 460,000, it is the least densely populated capital city in Europe. It is the seat of the Norwegian parliament, government and the residence of the Royal Family.
