Oslo
Oslo is the oldest of the Scandinavian capital cities, founded, according to the Norse chronicler Snore Stralsund, around 1048 by Herald Hardråde. Today's city centre is largely the work of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an era reflected in the wide streets, dignified parks and gardens, solid buildings and long, consciously classical vistas, which combine to lend it a self-satisfied, respectable air Oslo Ferries dock at Vippetangen quays which is a 15 minute walk south of Oslo S. The Oslo ferry port terminal is operated by Steno Line, Colour Line and DFDS Seaways.
