Oslo, the capital of Norway, lies at the head of the Oslo Fjord approximately 80 kilometres from the border of Sweden. The city functions as the administrative, economic and cultural hub of Norway, and is home to many government buildings, museums, theatres and galleries.

Summer douses the city’s many green areas in sunshine while winter turns the fjords to ice and coats the city in a blanket of snow. Whether you’re looking for a winter retreat or summer getaway, Oslo is the perfect location for your next team-building event.

This rapidly-expanding modern city presents countless experiences such as curling, yacht tours, escape rooms, paintballing, yoga and much more. In the following resource, we’ve provided some must-try activities to help you get ideas for your team-building retreat in Oslo.
