Views of the city and its fjord to die for from this bar on the 21st floor. A stylish and suited downtown crowd gathers here at sunset to watch the light fade and the neons come on all over the city, supping sophisticated concoctions from a long (and, as it’s Scandinavia, suitably pricey) cocktail list. Male vertigo sufferers should stick to short measures: the urinals are built into glass walls looking out over the abyss.

The Summit bar at the top of the Radisson SAS Hotel in the centre of Oslo has absolutely stunning views of the city and Oslo fjord, especially if you go there around dusk to watch the sunlight fade and the streetlights and neons come on all over the city.

If you go at the right time you can get a comfy seat right by the window, the best vantage point. Apart from the urinals apparently - they are right up against the glass so you can enjoy the view whilst, you know. Oh, and in the ladies' there is one cubicle with two toilets in it - in case you and a friend need to finish a conversation, especially urgently I suppose?!

Drinks aren't as expensive as I'd feared - it was around 300kr for two (small) bottles of beer and two glasses of red - pricier than the UK but that's to be expected I think.

When we went there was an especially good bar tender - she paid loads of attention to getting drinks just so and gave us some free peanuts!

A great atmosphere, stunning views and perfect company meant the Summit bar was the highlight of my trip to Oslo.

It's near the Royal Palace. The address is Holbergsgate 30, N-0166, Oslo

It's very expensive to club in Norway and recommended you bring your own drinks from home, but it's one of few places where smoking is prohibited so if you want to dance the night away without choking to death on cigarette fumes it's a great way to spend your time!
