The natural scenery in Oslo is perhaps the best of any European city. Norway is famous for sweaters, pewter goods, and silver. Oslo's outstanding climate makes this an agreeable, pensive city. To encounter Oslo one must both walk and use the bus. The harbor is always nearby and fascinating to watch.
Ferry service is available from the downtown piers to other areas of the city.
Longer rides south on the Oslo Fjord are also possible from the downtown piers. Follow the pedestrian street, Karl Johans Gate toward the center of Oslo. Four blocks up Karl Johans Gate turn right. The interior features several works of modern art. Here one can obtain all kinds of Norwegian crafts, pewter, and silver as well as mundane goods of all kinds.
