A City Transformed

A Winter Wonderland

The scent of mulled wine and gingerbread fills the air, and the sound of carols can be heard echoing through the streets.

Oslo in winter is a sight to behold. The city transforms into a winter wonderland, with snow-covered rooftops and twinkling lights adorning the streets. I spent my first day wandering around the city, taking in the festive decorations and the cheerful atmosphere. The Royal Palace, with its grandeur and elegance, looked even more majestic under a blanket of snow.

No trip to Oslo would be complete without indulging in traditional Norwegian cuisine. From hearty stews to delicious pastries, every meal was a culinary adventure. A particular highlight was the 'julebord', a traditional Norwegian Christmas feast, which offered an array of dishes such as pickled herring, smoked salmon, and the famous 'ribbe' (pork ribs).
