June is a perfect time for a road trip through Norway. The weather is pleasant, with chances to see a lot of waterfalls and the midnight sun further north. You can expect long days to explore dramatic fjords, charming towns, and scenic drives. All our route was based on the scenic road map of the official website of Norway. That’s why we haven’t visited many sights but saw a lot of fantastic landscapes. Before travelling to Norway, check if roads are closed.

Our first stop was Oslo, Norway’s vibrant capital. In just a few days, we managed to see all the major sights, including the quirky Vigeland Sculpture Park, the stunning Opera House overlooking the fjord, and the chic Aker Brygge waterfront. With its sleek yachts and modern architecture, this area is especially charming.

Compared to other European cities, Oslo is relatively small. While the city has a reserved atmosphere, it still offers everything you’d expect from a capital: The Royal Palace, expansive parks, and striking Scandinavian design.

Also I couldn’t help but mention the famous ice floe-shaped Oslo Opera House—it blends seamlessly into the Norwegian landscape, just like all the country’s architectural masterpieces. You can easily walk up its sloping roof to enjoy breathtaking views of the city, while the interior feels minimalist and spacious.

Although Norway isn’t particularly known for its capital city, Oslo provides a compact and well-maintained glimpse into the country’s culture and lifestyle. Its clean streets and pleasant ambiance make it a delightful place to explore.
