Oslo is the capital and largest city of Norway, located in the southeast of the country. It is a bit smaller than other Scandinavian capitals, but it has a lot to offer - first: a captivating location, among lakes and hills, on the picturesque Oslofjorden bay full of small islands, second: modern, inspiring architecture, interesting museums and art galleries. Norway has for years been considered one of the world's most pleasant places to live, and Oslo itself is such a Norway in a nutshell - perfect for the beginning of the adventure of exploring this beautiful Nordic country.
Many tourists' first steps, due to its proximity to the port and the city's main stations, are towards the Opera House with its curved white facade as if emerging from the water. Its rooftop is a great place for a walk and a souvenir photo of Oslo. At least one of the museums is also worth a visit, such as the Oslo National Museum with its most famous exhibit - Edward Munch's "The Scream," Frammuseet, which is a museum of Norwegian polar discoveries and expeditions, or one of Europe's largest open-air museums - the Norwegian Folk Museum.
.Above the city center rises the Royal Palace, the official seat of the Norwegian monarchy. Every day at 1:30 pm, a changing of the guard takes place in front of the palace's main entrance. In addition, the medieval Akershus Fortress, once successfully defending enemies' access to the city, is worth a visit. A little further from the center, you can see the famous Holmenkollen ski jump with its Ski Museum.
.Oslo-Gardermoen Airport is located 48 kilometers north of the city center. Sandefjord-Torp Airport, on the other hand, is 120 kilometers from Oslo. Oslo is a very well-connected city. You can move around it using buses, subways or streetcars. Polish PKS Oslo will not be missed, but international and domestic bus services stop at the bus station connected to the train station in the very center of the Norwegian capital. If you are dreaming of a trip to Norway and want to visit Oslo, the bus can be an interesting option for traveling to northern Europe.
.Gizycko is a town in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, located in the very center of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes on the isthmus between Lakes Niegocin and Kisajno.

.Gizyc's best-known attractions include the 19th-century Prussian Boyen Fortress and the rotating bridge over the Luczanski Canal.
