FROM FANTASTIC FJORDS TO AWESOME ART, OSLO OFFERS A GALAXY OF STELLAR ATTRACTIONS
CATHERINE USHER
NORTHERN STAR

TAKE THE PLUNGE What's the first thing you do when you arrive in Oslo? Take a sauna, perhaps? It was top of our Scandi travel to-do list, so we headed straight to KOK Oslo (don't worry, it means cook!). The floating sauna on Oslo Fjord allows up to 10 guests and we were greeted by the sauna master who gleefully cranked up the heat. Kitted out in prescription goggles (a sauna is no place for contact lenses), the experience of jumping into the cold waters after quite literally kok-ing was both invigorating and surprisingly joyful.

If you would really rather not take the plunge, you can enjoy the water in a more sedate fashion on board an electric catamaran cruise with Legacy Of The Fjords. Not only is it an elegant way of seeing the city's waterfront and exploring the islands and inlets further along the fjord, it's eco-friendly, too.
