Oslo
"The Viking Capital"

Oslo City Hall

Oslo City Halls (Radhus) situated in Pipervika in central downtown, has unique architecture and artworks. What truly makes it the most famous Oslo building however is its annual hosting of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on December 10th.

Vigeland Sculpture Park/Frogner Park

The park covers 80 acres and features 212 bronze and granite sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland. He personally sculpted every figure out of clay and craftsmen later fabricated the pieces into what they are today.

Akershus Fortress & Castle

Akershus Fortress survived many sieges since 1290, primarily by Sweden, and was never captured. It was so strategically important it was said that whoever ruled Akershus ruled Norway. In the 1600s it was remodeled like a renaissance castle.

Viking Ship Museum

The Viking Ship Museum on the Bygdøy Peninsula has two 900 year-old ships which were buried inside funeral mounds and are thought to be the best preserved in the world. It also has viking artifacts and a burial chamber with ancient skeletons.

The Scream at Munch Museum

The Scream is well established as the epitome of Edvard Munch's work as an artist. The painting, which seethes with movement, appears to be painted with an explosive force and the result is a genuine expression of an agitated mind.

Oslo, situated at the end of a 70-mile long fjord, is Norway's capital and its largest city, rich in culture and folklore with a fascinating Viking history. Oslo is an eclectic mix of old medieval buildings, churches and modern architecture, sitting among the green trees and extending forests that form the natural balance of nature and civilization. Around the city there are numerous museums, art galleries and places of interest. Although Oslo has small population compared to other European capital cities, it retains a true vibrancy about it. The city centre is filled with restaurants, bars, cafes, clubs and theatres and has a very cosmopolitan feel to it with street artists hanging around the main street, Karl Johans Gate.
