City overview

Oslo may be one of the more expensive cities in Europe, but there are ways to enjoy Norway’s sophisticated capital without melting the plastic. The first thing is to find cheap flights to Oslo and take the bus to the centre of the city. Another tip is to buy an Oslo Pass, which provides free public transport, free admission to museums and sights and even discounted ice-skate hire.

Cross the harbour by boat to the Bygdoy peninsula, where you’ll find several fascinating museums including the Viking Ship Museum, Norwegian Folk Museum, Kon-Tiki Museum, which tells the story of Thor Heyerdahl who in 1947 sailed 4,000 miles across the Pacific in a raft, and Fram Museum, which tells the stories of the polar explorers.

Gustav Vigeland’s sculptures populate the Vigeland sculpture park. Oslo’s most popular attraction is Vigeland Park, an enormous green space of lawns, trees and duck ponds. The park is named after famous Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. More than 200 of Vigeland’s life-size statues are scattered through the park, showcasing 40 years of his work portraying the human form in a range of poses and emotions. The park’s most impressive piece, the Monolith, is an enormous mass of twisting, writhing bodies carved from a single column of stone. The piece is located in the park’s centre and is believed to be the largest granite sculpture in the world. Many more sculptures can be found in the Vigeland Museum, which is close to the park and also showcases the artist’s development through sketches and plaster originals.
