I never actually enjoyed Oslo, I always just go shopping and spend money. But that was before @numastays contacted me at the perfect time! I was going to @springsteen concert, and needed a place to stay! @numastays had just gotten a new location in the middle of Oslo city centre that they wanted me to check out so I did. My Oslo guide below 👇🏻 1. Stay at @numastays, I stayed at Numa Hallen which is very close to the Opera house, train station, and the main walking street. It has no key! You receive a unique code for entrance and room. GET YOUR DISCOUNT WITH MY CODE: MARIENUMA15 when you book with them! 2. Local bakery, Oslo has many. To name a few: Håndbakt, Åpent Bakeri and the infamous Farine bakery. 3 Concerts in Oslo. Go to Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Hoopla, Oslo konserthus or Oslo Spektrum to see if they have tickets for your dates. 4. Aker Brygge is a popular pier for food or drinks! 5. Oslo Opera house is special during sunset, everyone sitting on the roof, skating, socialising. Fine architecture. 6. Oslo’s Venice! My favourite part of Oslo! It’s right next to the Opera House. go to the donut 🍩 shop called Talormade Bispevika. You will end up at this exact location. 7. Karl Johans Gate: the best and most popular shopping street in Oslo. It’s super close to @numastays. From there you can walk to the Royal Palace! Such a vibrant and fun street 8. Grefsenkollen: Rad place for a cool view over Oslo, during sunset! Also a very popular restaurant, hiking around and a hippie cafe truck 🛻 9: Vigeland Park: find “Sinnataggen” free entrance 10: Oslo Raw: Best vegan food in Norway. Other things to do: - Kok Sauna Oslo - The Royal Palace - Oslomarka - Holmenkollen - Art Museums (Munch) - Viking Museum SAVE THIS FOR YOUR NEXT OSLO TRIP 😍 📷 @karolinethyri 🧘🏼♀️ @bomkanari In collab with @numastays #oslo #norway #norge #tips #numastays

Entire day on foot, we strolled through some of the remarkable Norwegian attractions. Displaying elevated levels of art, Vigeland Park left a lasting impression on me. Taking a stroll through it, I witnessed a profound work of art, mirroring the fascinating Norwegian culture. Celebrating rich Scandinavian life, this is a place to deepen your self-awareness, perception of the universe, and everything in between. Why is Vigeland Park famous? It's the world's largest sculpture park by the same artist, Gustav Vigeland. Vigeland Park / The Monolith, depicts human figures clinging and floating together. The Sculpture Park, located in the Frogner Park premises, has more than 200 sculptures. All of them created by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. The park is located in Oslo center and is free to enter. The sculptures depict women and men of different ages, with the top of the Monolith being crowned with children. It's amazing how the sculptures interpret the vision of resurrection, our longing and striving for spirituality. A subtle represetation of human life! What's more? Not only did Gustav Vigeland make all the bronze, granite and cast-iron sculptures displayed in the park, he also designed the outline of the park itself. On a sunny day, the park is a sheer joy to behold.

Wow! A lifetime of work - 212 granite, bronze and wrought iron sculptures created by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland over almost 20 years. Very impressive collection. Interestingly, the people are of varying ages, shapes, activities and moods. Not sure why the angry boy is so famous but he certainly look angry. There are 4 statues of dragons with people on top of the 4 columns at either corner of the bridge; they are meant to depict “the internal vices of a person, which he tries to fight throughout his life. Some interpret these sculptures as a confrontation between man and the forces of nature.” The monolith was huge and contained 121 figures. While it was not crazy crowded, there were the usual tour buses and we tried to stay ahead of those hordes. It is quite a journey to get to the park – we took a cab but then had to walk quite a few blocks to get to another taxi stand to get back. But this is a sight well worth the journey and a must see. We stopped at the end back by the entrance gate to grab 2 hot chocolates and a croissant at the Café Vigeland. It was a nice little place for a peaceful break. My only objection was that we had to pay NOK 20 to use the bathroom – as paying customers I would have expected a free bathroom.

Vigeland Park, nestled within Oslo's sprawling Frogner Park, is a true masterpiece of public art and one of Norway’s most iconic attractions. Known as the world’s largest sculpture park made by a single artist, it showcases the extraordinary works of Gustav Vigeland, who created over 200 sculptures in bronze, granite, and wrought iron, making this park a must-visit for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The park’s layout is both grand and thoughtfully designed, guiding you through a series of thematic areas that explore the human experience—from birth and childhood to adulthood and old age. Vigeland’s sculptures, though diverse in form and expression, all center around the human figure, capturing raw emotions and universal themes with astonishing realism and sensitivity. One of the most famous features is the Monolith, a towering column of intertwined human bodies that rises 14 meters into the sky. This awe-inspiring piece, carved from a single block of granite, is surrounded by a series of sculptures depicting the cycle of life, each one as evocative and thought-provoking as the last. The Angry Boy (Sinnataggen) is another highlight, beloved for its expressiveness and often seen as a symbol of the park itself.
