Well, it is something very special about spending a hot summer night in downtown oslo. There is everything present in the city in terms of entertainment, such as restaurant and the main street (Karl Johan) which is filled with children and adults alike. It is such a fantastic feeling or an evening to have a drink. While watching the great musicians which come from all over the world, it is fun to see them singing along with the main street. You can feel the punch of the city.
You don't need to worry about anything, as crime over there is very low even police doesn't carry guns with them. Yet Oslo is a special destination in Norway which is so much more and has tons to history as well.

As mentioned earlier as well that Norway is a long country and about one third of the country is stretched on the artic circle. You will be able to observe midnight sun from the north side of artic circle. As you know that lot of tourist come from all over the world to have a look at the magnificence of the Midnight Sun, they are not able to see because they are in the wrong part of Norway. I suppose you got the idea, so in order to watch the midnight sun you will have to go towards North of the arctic circle which is located on the North side of Norway.
