Oslo has a character. Though, probably comparing to other European capitals, it has few spots for sightseeing, Oslo has no shortage of outdoor attractions and activities around the city.
A-must stop in Oslo is Vigeland [Frogner] Park. It's a superb sculpture park inhabited by eye-catching life-size statues created by one of the country's best known artists, Gustav Vigeland. The highlight of the park is a 20-metre-high obelisk with 121 clambering bodies representing the human life cycle.
Bygdoy peninsula is also not to miss. It features five great museums, including an open-air Folk Museum and Viking Ships Museum and a couple of the swimming beaches.
For observing the best view on the city, go to Holmenkollen, a hilly area in the outskirts of Oslo.
Art lovers would find it almost impossible not to drop at Munch Museum, dedicated to the most famous Norway's artist, best-known for his painting "The Scream". But due to world demand this masterpiece is often absent in the museum.
Well, we won't make secret of the fact that it's quite expensive to shop in Oslo. But try those shops lined along Karl Johans Gate, especially the pedestrian section. You will discover lots of souvenir stalls with lovely knick-knacks and fun buskers.
And keep in mind April sales in Oslo when you can purchase real bargains!
Oslo offers a range of hotels you expect of a capital city, as well as private rooms and youth hostels. If you choose July or August then remember that it's a peak season and a search for budget beds becomes acute, so book in advance. We hope this site will help you to find accommodation that matches your needs and price expectations.
The occupancy level for the hotels in Oslo throughout the year is rather big. It could be very difficult to find cheap hotels in Oslo at a reasonable price in a few weeks before the visit. The best way to arrange your hotel in Oslo is minimum of 2 - 3 months in advance. You could get better prices and find more available hotels. If you could not find your hotel here, we could recommend Booked.net with Oslo hotel booking at reasonable prices.
