Why

1. Vigeland Park: A Sculpture Garden Full of Emotion 

Vigeland Park, also known as Frogner Park, is one of the most iconic attractions in Oslo. This unique sculpture park is the life's work of the famous Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland and contains more than 200 impressive sculptures made of bronze, granite, and cast iron. The centerpiece of the park is the imposing Monolith, a 14-meter high column carved from a single piece of granite and covered with 121 figures collectively symbolizing the cycle of life. Don't forget to take a photo at the famous "Sinnataggen" (the angry boy) statue, a favorite among visitors. Whether you are an art lover or just want to enjoy a relaxing walk, Vigeland Park is a must-see!

2. Akershus Fortress: Dive into Medieval History 

Do you love diving into the history of your travel destination? Then you can definitely do that in Oslo! Akershus Fortress is a medieval castle and fort that towers high above the Oslofjord. Built in the late 13th century to protect the city from attacks, this impressive fortress has withstood many sieges and now offers a wealth of history. Within the walls of Akershus Fortress, you will find the majestic Akershus Castle, which once served as a royal residence and later as a prison. Today, the fortress also houses the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum and the Norwegian Resistance Museum, where you can learn about military history and Norway's role during World War II. Enjoy the panoramic views over the fjord and the city – a perfect spot for a photo!
