Hotel Continental is located right in the heart of Oslo - Norway's capital and largest city with 634,000 inhabitants. Oslo has been Norway's official capital since the country received its constitution in 1814. The Royal Palace, the Parliament and the Government Quarter are all located in the city, and a short distance from Hotel Continental.

Oslo is beautifully situated at the end of the Oslofjord, surrounded by wooded hills. The city is an eldorado for outdoor enthusiasts. If you're in the city center, it's never far to the nearest park. A ten-minute boat ride from the city center takes you to lovely beaches on the islands in the Oslofjord. Oslo has hundreds of kilometers of groomed trails for cross-country skiing within the city limits, as well as eight alpine slopes.

At the same time, Oslo has everything you'd expect from a big city. The city offers a range of sights, shopping opportunities, a rich cultural life and a range of restaurants that is hard to beat in Scandinavia. The possibilities are endless - whether you want to enjoy a sumptuous meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant, or you want a sweeping fresh winter experience with a dog sled in Oslo's wilderness.
