Fornebu
Norway, Norway
Fornebu is a peninsula in Bærum municipality near Oslo, Norway, historically known as the site of Oslo Airport from 1939 to 1998, when it served as the country's main international gateway before operations shifted to Gardermoen. Originally home to Fornebu farm owned by Hovedøya Monastery until the late 1700s and later subdivided for upscale residences, the area saw villa development in the early 1900s before being repurposed for aviation amid Norway's need for a land-based airfield. Today, it's a thriving business and residential hub with Telenor headquarters, Telenor Arena for events, modern apartments, a shopping center, and preserved landmarks like the old air traffic control tower turned cultural space, all surrounded by fjord beaches and recreational paths.
