Vigeland Sculpture Park
One of Norway’s top attractions, this park is free and open 24/7 for visitors. The scultpure park is within Frogner Park and contains over 200 sculotures by Gustav Vigeland. These have been made from various materials including bronze, granite and cast iron. Some of these scultpres are very well recognised inlcuding : The Angry Boy (Sinnataggen in Norwegian). For visitors some of these sculptures may look a bit unusual.
Oslo Royal Palace
The Oslo Royal Palace is beautiful to visit and it’s worth checking out the changing of the Guards which takes place at 13:30 daily. The ceremony takes about 40 minutes. Just walk up Karl Johans Gate (where you can do a spot of shopping) and you’ll see the road to the Royal Palace just a short walk away.
