Every place,
in Oslo.

St. Hanshaugen park

The hilltop park the neighborhood is named after — winding paths, a pond, and one of the best free views of the city from the pavilion at the top. Bring coffee from Ullevålsveien below.

Botanisk hage

Two hundred years of botany in the middle of Tøyen — 150 acres of themed gardens, Victorian palm houses and quiet lawns. Free, open daily from 7am, and never crowded on weekday mornings.

Naturhistorisk museum

Norway's largest natural history collection — dinosaur skeletons, meteorites and the Klimahuset climate house — set inside the Botanical Garden at Tøyen.

Vigelandmuseet

Gustav Vigeland's studio and home, kept as he left it — the plaster originals, the working models, and the quiet backstory to the 200 sculptures in the park across the street.

Norsk Folkemuseum

An open-air village of 160 historic buildings from all over Norway — including the Gol stave church — with costumed hosts, farm animals and lefse from the wood-fired griddle in summer.

Kon-Tiki Museet

Thor Heyerdahl's original balsa raft Kon-Tiki and the papyrus boat Ra II, plus the Oscar-winning documentary — the whole improbable story in one room across from the Fram.

Frammuseet

The polar ship Fram — the wooden vessel that carried Nansen and Amundsen toward both poles — parked whole inside its own A-frame hall. You walk the actual deck.

Astrup Fearnley Museet

Contemporary art in a Renzo Piano building whose sail-like roof arches over the tip of Tjuvholmen — international heavyweights inside, a sculpture park and a small city beach outside.

Norway's national museum of art, architecture and design — the largest in the Nordics, with Munch, Dahl and the design collections under one vast roof, plus the fjord-facing Light Hall for temporary shows.
