Sightseeing
A very nice place to check out is Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. Aker Brygge is our pier promenade and Tjuvholmen is a newly developed extension of this that you can get to by just following the pier from Aker Brygge and out towards the ocean. There you’ll find beaches, a museum (Astrup Fearnley museum) and restaurants. The latter will probably be a bit pricey compared to elsewhere. Check out google maps if you’re unsure of how to get there.

The Holmenkollen Ski Jump, perched on a hilltop overlooking Oslo, offers a panoramic view of the city. Even if you're not a dare-devil ski jumper, the complex is well worth a visit thanks to its ski museum and a couple of other attractions.
The Ski Museum leads you through the 4000-year history of Nordic and downhill skiing in Norway. Admission also includes a visit to the ski-jump tower . Part of the route to the top of the tower is served by a lift, but you're on your own for the final 114 steep steps. Outside, the ski-jump simulator is good for a laugh, but don't try it if you have a weak stomach. To get to the museum, take T-bane line 1 to Holmenkollen and follow the signs uphill.

Parks & Nature
Vigelandsparken is one of Norway's most visited attractions with more than one million visitors every year.
The unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron.
The bronze statue of the little Angry Boy (Sinnataggen in Norwegian) is among the most famous sculptures, along with the Monolith (picture) and the Wheel of Life (Livshjulet).
Vigeland was also responsible for the design and architectural outline of the park - a monumental artistic creation with a human message that is well worth seeing.
The park is free of admission, open all year at all times and is a popular recreation area.
