Oslo
On an international scale, Oslo is a pretty small capital but, with just over 500,000 people, it’s Norway’s biggest city by far. More than 10% of the country’s total population lives here; if we count people in the entire Oslofjord area in the summertime, it amounts to one third of Norway’s population.
The name Oslo is most likely composed of the words Os and lo, where Os is the name of a Viking God and lo means field. Hence, the word Oslo translates into the poetic “Field of Gods.”
