Welcome to Oslo. In this video you're going to see a quick summary of some
excellent places to see and visit during your stay in Oslo. On the end screen of
this video will be links to each one of these locations in more detail. If you
see this content helpful, go ahead and give this video a thumbs up on your way
in and let's experience a thousand-year-old city. Come on in.
One day in Oslo isn't nearly enough to take in this whole city has to offer. I
recommend two to three days. If you're into Norwegian art, don't miss a stroll
through the Fagnum Park, one of Oslo's most popular attractions. This sculpture
park features the life works of Gusto Vigilant with more than 200 of his
sculptures. Various types of works are made from bronze, granite, and wrought iron
depicting life during various stages.
You can't visit Oslo without spending time at the Royal Palace. This is the
official residence of Norway's King and Queen. Built over a hundred years ago, the
Royal Palace is a daily workplace of the Royal Court. Palace tours are also
available, but the most popular event in Oslo is the changing of the Royal Guard
led by a Norwegian military band and mounted police officers.
A short elegant 10-minute walk through central Oslo on the shores of the North
Sea stands the famous Oslo City Hall. This one of the capital's most iconic
building around. It's known for accompanying the annual Nobel Peace
Prize award ceremony, along with many murals and paintings inside. Also, touring
this magnificent structure is free to anyone, but guests are limited, so go
early.
After a visit at the City Hall, take a stroll along Oslo's new Harbour
Promenade. Its urban adventure is unlike no other. Soothing nature on one hand,
while world-class architecture, culture, and food on the other.
As you discover Oslo's history in the middle of the city center, be sure to
spend some time visiting the fortress. This castle and fortress was commenced
in 1299 under King Haakon. This medieval castle was completed in the early 13th
century with a strategic location that overlooks most of Oslo. Later, it was
converted into a renaissance castle and royal residence.
Don't miss a stroll along Karl Johans Gate. This is a perfect place if you want
to go shopping with many shops, food hall full of restaurants, and an old and
viewing old elegant rustic buildings along the way. It stretches from the
railroad station, all the way to the Royal Castle, to the Royal Palace. There
are many places to visit along this street.
This is just a short summary of what you will see in Oslo, especially if your
time is limited. These I recommend to be a must-see during your stay.
