When Norway comes to mind, it instantly brings images of spectacular landscapes: fjords, glaciers, vast lakes, gloomy forests, and the magical Aurora Borealis lights. It also takes you back to the age of the Vikings, conjures images of reindeer, and snow-laden mountains, yet seldom brings forth images of its urban landscapes.
