Scandimania
Oslo’s one million residents squeeze every drop of excitement from summer. Mornings are spent paddleboarding past the seaside Opera House. Lunch is communal tables of kimchi or pad thai at Street Food, a food venue that rocks until 3am. Afternoons can be spent around seawater fjord pools, although our advice is to anchor your Jacuzzi nearby. Add ziplines, eBikes and forest trails. Finish with a Norwegian cocktail containing seaweed and spruce on deck.

Reasons to visit Oslo
New museums dedicated to Edvard Munch and the Kon-Tiki expedition make Oslo a cultural nexus. In 2022 the National Museum (the largest art gallery in Scandinavia) opened to showcase fine art and sea views from its cuboid glass roof. There are more sculptures - in the sea. Kayak into Oslofjord to see a permanent installation by Jason deCaires Taylor, where 12 humanoid figures float tethered by an 'umbilical cord' to the seabed. It’s aquatic culture.

Norway was once a nation famed for $15 hot dogs. No more. Michelin three star restaurants like Maaemo are temples to traditional ingredients, like scallops with foraged chanterelle mushrooms. As lemons don't grow in Norway, Maeemo uses ants (which give an acidic tang) instead. Foodies should hit Mathallen in the vibrant Vulkan district. Eat up 30 outlets from pintxos to Pakistani. Your yacht chef can purchase cloudberries and king crab. Dinner is ready when you are.
Beaches. Monsteries. Gun emplacements. Nature reserves. Ask your Y.CO charter yacht captain to cruise the green islands of Oslofjord. Lindøya has Scandi cottages. Gressholmen is best for wild swimming. Langøyene has sandy volleyball nets. Hovedøya is completely wild. The waterway is the ultimate environment to break out the toys. Wakeboards, sailboats and kayaks come into their own.
Northern Europe's largest sculpture park (imagine mega-installations by Anish Kapoor and Yayoi Kusama lost in a forest) has a new addition. Welcome to The Twist. A bendy building that spans across a shimmering river, to host 1,000 square metres of art inside. Floor-to-ceiling windows bend portraits and perceptions. The New York Times called The Twist a "must-see". Even the restrooms are adorned with pieces from digital 3D artist Tony Oursler.
