About the area:
Along with the world class art that you would expect of a European capital city, Oslo has sights that appeal to a broad range of interests, a vibrant city life, a fjord and lakes located in a wooded wilderness area that can be reached by public transportation. "Must see" sights include the Viking Ship Museum, which houses three 1,000 year old Viking ships and Viking artifacts, and the Vigeland Sculpture Park home to 200 sculptures by Norway’s greatest sculptor. If you're hungry or thirsty you may want to stroll down to the harbor-side Aker Brygge complex, an old dock yard that has been converted to restaurants and upscale shops.
