Oslo is a small city, but it packs a punch and leaves a lasting impression. The city is soaked in culture and nowhere is this more apparent than within the imposing walls of the Grand Hotel. A bastion of traditional elegance, the Grand Hotel is an Oslo institution that continues to welcome discerning guests, centuries after its opening.
The hotel’s prime location makes it the perfect base from which to explore Oslo, and with a staggering array of rooms to choose from, there is an accommodation option for every traveler. The city’s culinary scene is experiencing a boom in innovation and a number of world-class eateries have recently opened on Oslo’s streets – staying at The Grand will not only afford you access to the delectable flavors of the in-house Palmen restaurant, but also a great location from which to sample the finest flavors from across the city. With leisure spaces including an exquisite wine cellar, rooftop bar, spa, and heated pool, there’s plenty to explore before you’ve even left the marbled lobby of the Grand Hotel.

Norway stands as one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, exemplifying Scandinavia’s modern and inclusive approach to sexuality and gender. In 1981, Norway became one of the first countries globally to enact an anti-discrimination law specifically aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ individuals. This groundbreaking legislation laid the foundation for a society that values equality, and it was followed by the legalization of same-sex sexual activity in 1972, long before many other countries in Europe.
Further advancements in LGBTQ+ rights came in 2009 when Norway legalized same-sex marriage, providing full legal recognition and the right to adopt children for same-sex couples. Additionally, Norway offers one of the most inclusive gender recognition laws, allowing individuals to change their legal gender without requiring surgery, which was introduced in 2016.
Cultural acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals is widespread in Norway, and the country has a vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Pride events, including the Oslo Pride Parade, are celebrated with enthusiasm, drawing large crowds each year. Public life in cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger is welcoming, with many queer-friendly bars, clubs, and cultural spaces fostering an inclusive environment.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Norway is a safe and affirming destination, with its robust legal protections, progressive policies, and open-minded society ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, can enjoy their time freely. Norway’s combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and commitment to equality makes it an ideal place for LGBTQ+ tourism.
