Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Sentrum, Eastern Norway
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.

The tiger in front of Oslo Central Station is one of Oslo's most photographed "inhabitants" and one of the first things that meet a visitor arriving at Oslo Central Station. 0When Oslo celebrated its 1000-year anniversary in 2000, Eiendomsspar wanted to give the city a gift. Oslo wanted a tiger, and that's what they got: a 4.5-metre bronze tiger made by Elena Engelsen. The reason Oslo wanted a tiger, is the city's nickname Tigerstaden ("The Tiger City"), which most Norwegians are familiar with. The name was probably first used by Norwegian poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. His poem "Sidste Sang" from 1870 describes a fight between a horse and a tiger; the tiger representing the dangerous city and the horse the safe countryside. Since then Oslo has been known as "The Tiger City", but these days it's not necessarily meant as a negative thing. "The Tiger City" can be an exciting and happening place rather than dangerous.

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.

This polished stainless steel diver is located at the harbor next to the Radhusplassen square. The diver looks out over the magnificent Oslo fjord, fully suited in scuba gear, ready to jump into the sea.

I like it for the fact that it feels like a companion to its bigger sister, the Opera House of Oslo. She Lies gives a good perspective of dimension to Opera House.
