In the capital city of Norway, Oslo’s residents are among the healthiest in the country. Initially founded as a Viking city around 1040, Oslo started as a trading place. In 1925, the city was named Oslo and in 1948 it merged with a municipality named Aker. Oslo drives most of its economy with Norwegian trade, the shipping industry, and banking. It was also ranked “Beta World City” in 2008.
The city has a vast expanse of forest which is home to varied species of plants and animals like lynx, moose, roe deer, and wolf. Oslo is also known for playing host to the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize ceremony that takes place every autumn.
