Oslo

Oslo - the capital of Norway, known for its citywide green spaces and museums also has a peculiar nickname : Tiger City (Tigerstaden) The first reference was made by the author Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson around 1870, due to his perception of the city as a cold and dangerous place. This name has over the years achieved an almost official status, to the extent that the 1000-year anniversary was celebrated by a row of tiger sculptures around city hall.
