In Athens usually snows every 3 or sometimes 4 years; last large snow-fall was in February of 2008.

Oslo:
Capital and by far the biggest city. 0,9 mill. in the urban area, and 1,4 in the metro area. One of the fastest growing cities in Europe, and the whole city is under a massive development. The summers are warm(20 - 30 degrees), and the winters are cold(0 - -15). 2-3 stable months of snow each year.

Wiew towards the royal palace. Small part of downtown visible:

Typical street after heavy snowfall:

Side walk along main street, Karl Johans gate:

db.no

In front of the royal palace:

vg.no

Maybe not city proper, but this is actually within the city borders, and the subway runs all the way. The forrests surrounding the city is protected, providing the inhabitants with excellent hiking areas.

Other norwegian cities:

Tromsø
The biggest northern city, 2000 km north of Oslo.


Longyearbyen
Not located on mainland Norway, but the island of Svalbard, closer to the north pole. Only about 1000 people living there, mainly due to research etc.

Ålesund
A costal city on the west coast. This area is quite mild winter time, but also here snow is common in the winter.

hdpano.com

Vardø
Or Várggát in Sami. Vardø is the easternmost town in Norway, and it is actually east of Saint Petersburg, Kiev and Istanbul. It´s located in the far north of Norway, and the population is around 2.500 today.

The port of Vardø, on the Barents Sea, remains ice-free all year round thanks to the effect of the warm North Atlantic drift. Vardø is usually referred to as Norway's only mainland town in the Arctic climate zone, although this is not strictly correct since the town is located on an island about 2 km off the northeastern coast of the Varanger Peninsula.

Despite of it's extreme location, the climate is quite modest, with a average temperature in the coldest winter months of -3 degrees celcius.

Stavanger
Refered to as the oil capital, and the 4th largest city of Norway. The urban area holds 200.000 inhabitants, and the old wooden parts of the city is the largest in europe. The climate here is mild, and there are little snow during the winters.


During snow storm


Bergen
Second largest city with a urban area of some 350.000 inhabitants.
