Some airports offer a slew of stores and restaurants, while others have unique options such as yoga classes.

A large part of the city will be dedicated to sports and leisure activities. Never again will you grow bored during your layover or delayed flight. The sports area here includes a large swimming pool, climbing facilities, and even parachute rides through the city. Here in Oslo, you can take to the skies even before you take off on your flight.
