A short commute outside the Oslo CBD is the palatial residence of Simon + Marit + Magnus (the latter is the heir).
Exquisitely grand yet understated it could be used as a display home in a high-end home catalogue.
Within short walking distance are picturesque forest trails leading to breathtaking lookouts that make you feel on top of the world.
And the expansive lake of Sognsvann down below is incredibly popular all year round and perfect for trail running with wide, well-defined paths.
But by far the best part about Oslo is time spent with family (playing cards, eating brown cheese, drinking the home brewed craft beer etc) and especially cuddles with the adorable Magnus.
