Things to do in Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

Visited in Decmber ovenight from a cruise ship. Just about 10 minutes walk from the ship. Karl Johans Gate/ road leads out to the Huge Grand Hotel, Theatre and City Hall Buildings and all looked fabulous with lights and trees up for the Festive Season. Just across from these large buildings and only a stones throw/few minutes walk from Karl Johnas Gate is the Christmas Market, Huge Ferris wheel - small fair ground rides - lots of stalls selling - crafts and various food stuffs. Lots of large pop up bars and an ice rink in centre where you can hire the boots. In the area there are lots of bars and restaurants too. There are two tunnels of lights along with several hanging fire pits to sit on a log and keep warm throughout the market. - which felt so Scandinavian.

Ostbanehallen is the oldest part of Oslo Central Station, first opened in 1852 and reconstructed in 1882. In 2012 it was transformed to a modern oasis with beautiful old architecture. Now you can find here many restaurants and bars. Many have also outdoor serving during the summer months. Oslo Visitor Center and Comfort Hotel Grand Central are located here. The place is close to the Opera and Karl Johan Street.

We enjoyed this historic square in the center of 17th century Oslo as built by the Danes. There are many old buildings in the area dating from this time and a short walk to Akershus Fortress. In the middle of the square is the impressive The Glove fountain with a sculpture of Christian IV’s gloved hand pointing to where the new town of Oslo would be built. We also enjoyed lunch on the patio of the nearby Cafe Skansen.

Our visit in November was exciting, educating and entertaining. Incredible filming of nature, animals and Viking’s daily living, supported by VR experience and activities that may engage people of all ages. Nice staff and guide who gave advice on what to look for. Delicate shop with lots of Viking related items at various costs. Unfortunately, we had only one hour to spend; next time we will stay longer to explore all the features.
10. Musikkpaviljongen
