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!
