Things to do in Oslo

Clean, crisp and cosy, Oslo is a compact city with a pleasing lack of congestion. Norwegian air and a series of well-maintained parks, such as the sculpture-filled Vigeland Park, give the city and its inhabitants a glowing health and vitality. The Frogner district has some interesting architecture and historical sites, while excellent museums and galleries can be found across the pleasant, leafy centre. The Akershus Slot and Festning is a medieval fortress built in 1300 and a fascinating castle to wander around. In the summer, theatre and music productions are hosted in the grounds. The Viking Ship Museum, or Vikingskipshuset, is a must for anyone even mildly interested in Viking history. With 1000-year-old remains of huge wooden burial ships, it’s an enthralling place to spend an afternoon.
