Although Norway's capital dates back to the medieval times when Vikings that raided towns and consumed fish-only diets ruled the land, a fire in 1624 turned the original site to ashes. Instead of rebuilding Oslo at its same location, the kings of Norway and Denmark moved the city to Oslo's present-day city center. Here, you'll get to see famous sites like the main shopping street of Karl Johans gate, the University Square, and the 19th-century National Theatre, where visitors and locals alike flock to enjoy theatrical performances in one of the country's largest theaters.
