Went to Oslo last year and we've just come back from Stockholm.
I expected nothing from Oslo and was pleasantly surprised by its museums, bohemian student area, relaxed bar scene and great jazz clubs. We also went to a Dr Jekyll & Hyde bar and a venue where local Norwegian rock groups play live gigs. What topped it off was the Thorn Arena hotel we stayed in in Lillestrom, which had a free health spa attached to it. Thoroughly recommended!
We arrived in Stockholm full of expectation as many had recounted tales of its beauty and while it is a very pretty city, with a nicer old town than Oslo, we found it to have more or less the same amenities as Oslo but we didn't have similar experiences. We couldn't find a decent music scene, no bohemian student area to stroll through and the museums let us down a little. All in all we left feeling a little short-changed but perhaps our expectations were built up too much.
So, I really could not recommend one over the other. Personal experience tells me Oslo but maybe you will have more good fortune in Stockholm.

Depends on what you're into.! I live just 200km away from Stockholm and I would suggest you Stockholm definitely but both are awesome cities though. And yes, there are a lot of museums, bars, clubs, pubs and it's much more lively than Oslo

Oslo is a wonderful city!! I haven't found a city with an atmosphere quite like it! It is just packed with things to do and see, from museums, historical sites, parks, palaces/fortresses, pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops...It is so much fun and sooo interesting! Go there, you won't regret it...but make sure you plan enough time there, you won't want to leave!
