Oslo Old Town & Opera.mov

A meandering stroll along the grid of streets in this old section is quite rewarding and easily done in under one hour, for it covers a square area about 500 meters on each side, and is filled with venerable stone and brick buildings dating back a few centuries. There is an energetic downtown feeling to the place, which is occupied mostly by offices, shops and restaurants. We visit the new opera, built at the water's edge next to downtown. It's a remarkable structure that invites you to walk on the roof for a view across the harbor to downtown.
