With approx. 600,000 inhabitants, Oslo is not only the nation's capital but also its biggest city.
Oslo is surrounded by lakes, fjords, and forests. It is regarded as the world's greenest capital. Oslo's city area is one of the biggest in Europe. At the same time Oslo is among the smallest cities, speaking of the number of inhabitants.
Each Christmas, the citizens of Oslo donate a Christmas tree, which is erected on Trafalgar Square in London. It is a gesture of gratitude to the Londoners, who supported them during World War II.
