Oslo Restaurants Opened as Early as 8 During the May 17th Celebration

This year's National Day celebration in Oslo has good chances of getting really wet - starting this year, the Norwegian capital's bars were allowed to open as early as eight in the morning.

Alcohol serving in the capital opened earlier than usual on May 17th this year. – It is an understatement to say that we have not noticed it, the police say.

The debate over early dining on May 17 has been heated – perhaps there was much ado about nothing.
