Description The Dance of Life: Oslo kommune

Overlooking the bold architecture of the Edvard Munch Museum and the deep blue waters of the Skagerrak strait from your seventh-floor vantage point, it's easy to forget that you're right in the heart of the Norwegian capital. But then again, Scandinavian countries have always excelled at creating laid-back cities that are a pleasure to spend time in.

The apartment's interior is light-filled (thanks to its south-facing aspect and floor-to-ceiling windows) and spacious, with an open-plan layout that ensures your whole party can spend time together with a space to call their own.

Light wooden floors and off-white walls create a pleasingly simple starting block, which is enhanced by the sharp angles of the ceiling and the carefully curated artwork. A comfortable seating area leads directly to the outdoors, where a stunning balcony allows you to make the most of those spectacular views and near twenty-four hours of daylight over the mid-summer months.

Elsewhere, two chic bedrooms offer plenty of storage space to unpack and feel right at home, plus comfortable beds and stylish desk space if you need to fire off some emails.

The neighbourhood on your doorstep, Bjørvika, is one of Oslo’s best areas to stay in when it comes to innovative restaurants, bars, museums, and art galleries. The apartment is also just a fifteen-minute walk from Oslo’s city centre with cosmopolitan culture and history aplenty – think vibrant nightlife, lots of shopping streets, and famous landmarks such as Akershus Fortress and the Royal Palace.

For those looking for something a bit different, we recommend a trip to Ekerberg Sculpture Park. Offering art and nature at its finest, it’s also a lovely place to grab a bite to eat. It is easily accessible from the apartment either by foot, car, or public transport.
