If you’re a Facebook friend of Visit Norway USA, you may already have seen the “Green Guide to Oslo” on Matador Network. If not, check it out for tips on eco-friendly choices in Norway’s capital city, including restaurants, shops, transportation and attractions.

Both articles are written by Anne-Sophie Redisch, a travel writer based in Norway.
You'll find more travel tips and plenty of inspiration for your next Scandinavian sojourn in this month’s issue of Viking!
