OSLO IN…
TWO DAYS
Start your day at the
National Gallery
for a representative dose of artwork by Edvard
Munch. Afterwards, try an alfresco, pier-side seafood lunch at one of the new restaurant
developments at
Aker Brygge
. Take a ferry from here to Bygdøy Peninsula, and spend
your afternoon learning about the exploits of Norway's greatest explorers at the
Polarship
Fram
or
Viking Ship Museums
.
On day two head to the breathtaking
Oslo Opera House
,
timing your visit to coincide with one of the guided tours. Afterwards, explore the mediev-
al
Akershus Slott & Festning
and then take a look at all that's cool and modern at the
amazing new
Astrup Fearnley Museet
.
Finally, if time allows, learn how to make the world
a better place at the
Nobel Peace Center
.
FOUR DAYS
If you have a couple of extra days, wander among the bold, earthy statues at
Vigeland
Park
and consider launching yourself off the enormous
Holmenkollen Ski Jump
,
although
it's probably better to content yourself with a virtual attempt in the nearby simulator. The
energetic might also spend a day walking, skiing or biking in the
Nordmarka
; otherwise
simply make a lazy day trip to pretty
Fredrikstad
.
