Among the skyscrapers are plentiful green spaces, cool shopping streets and a slew of excellent museums to rival any you'll find in Europe - including the Munch museum, where Edward Munch's The Scream resides, as well as a host of maritime and Viking exhibits. Plus, it's just a short drive from the centre before you're immersed among the landscape's glassy expansive fjords and towering mountains, meaning a break here easily ticks off both scenic and city break boxes in a single weekender.
