Art that will make you scream
Oslo offers plenty of culture, from art and design, to music, and much more.
Experience the works of Norway’s most famous artist, Edvard Munch, at the massive MUNCH museum.
The museum is located in the super trendy Bjørvika neighbourhood, and houses the world's largest Munch collection, included motifs like The Scream and Madonna, and several of his monumental works.
Rooftop views
Right next to MUNCH, you can visit this iconic, award-winning building: The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.
It not only offers excitement inside, but it also invites you to climb on its roof for a panoramic view!
Nature meets art
Oslo is also home to several unique outdoor sculpture parks, where art meet nature in the most fabulous way, including the Vigeland Park and Ekebergparken.
Pro tip: Visit the parks in the spring or early autumn. There are fewer people and the vibrant colours will blow your mind!
The fjord sauna city
Oslo can be quite cool, in every sense! But that doesn't matter when there are plenty of steamy, hot saunas everywhere.
Combine with a refreshing dip in the fjord.
You might also want to bring your swimming suit on a walk along the 9 km long and very scenic harbour promenade, where the big city meets the Oslofjord.
Hip neighbourhoods
The harbour promenade takes you to some of Oslo's newest neighbourhoods like Bjørvika, Barcode and Sørenga, filled with architectural gems and trendy restaurants.
Or do you maybe prefer to stroll through King Christian IV's historical town, Kvadraturen, where you will find an eclectic mix of hot, new shops and 17th century buildings?
Cruise the fjord
Ready for an adventure? Many operators offer fjord cruises and sightseeing on the Oslofjord.
Just a short ferry ride from the wharf at Rådhusplassen lies Bygdøy. Going there not only gives you a nice sightseeing trip of the fjord, many of the city's most popular attractions are located on the island too.
Explore as many as seven different museums on the peninsula, including one of the world's largest open-air museums, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, The Fram Polar Exploration Museum and The Kon-Tiki Museum.
Family fun
Do you dare to take the Holmenkollen ski jump and zipline?

Tusenfryd, Norway's largest amusement park, is just a 20-minute bus ride from the city centre.
