Top 5 Nature & Parks 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.

It's great to have such a huge and fantastic hiking area just outside the city center with good public transportation. Unfortunately, I had to live here for 18 years before I found out, thanks to closed activities due to Covid-19.
2. The River Ride Jungletour
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 4 reviews
The River Ride: Jungle tour of the west side: Maerradalen Radium Hospital - Maerradalen - Hovseterskogen - Bogstad Farm Starting point: Radium Hospital, Ullern Easy arrival along the cycling route on Ring 3, from Smestad tram station (approx. 1.5 km) Distance: 6 km Incline: 100 m Roadway: mostly gravel, a bit rough in places. Between Ringveien and the heavily trafficked highway 168, you will find a dense, wonderful 'enchanted' forest situated in a little-known river valley. Maerradalen is a splendid nature experience all summer long and a fine bicycle ride. Leave Ringveien one and a half kilometres west of Smestad Station and cycle uphill towards Husby along Maerradalsbekke stream. To lengthen the ride a bit, head for the natural destination of Bogstad Farm, which you will reach after cycling under Highway 168, through the Hovseter fields and past Bogstad Camping. The road surface of the last kilometre before Bogstad Camping is slightly rough, but fully 'cyclable' for those on a mountain bike.

The Palace Park, one of the Norwegian capital’s first and largest parks, surrounds the Royal Palace on all sides. It features grassy areas and flowerbeds as well as old, majestic trees. It is a popular place to rest - with tourists and the city's own populations both. The Palace Park was developed simultaneously with the construction of the Royal Palace in the mid-1800s. The part of the park called the Queen’s Park dates all the way back to 1751.Most of the park is open to the public all year. The Queen's Park is open during the summe season, from 18 May to 1 October, between 7 AM and 8 PM. The Palace Park is a protected cultural monument and is managed by the Palace gardeners.

Wonderful gardens, peaceful nooks, a reading pavilion, lakes, ducks and of course unformed military guards. Easy to rest and recuperate in the grounds and a few minutes from the centre of town.
