About Oslo
Oslo is the capital of Norway, set at the head of the Oslofjord with forests and hills close to the centre. It is known for its waterfront opera house, the Munch Museum and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, and is the base of Norway's government and many of its energy and shipping businesses.
Norway uses Central European Time, UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. Oslo keeps the same time as Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berlin, one hour ahead of London. Because of its northern latitude, daylight varies enormously: midwinter afternoons go dark very early, while around midsummer evenings stay light until late at night.
