The Vigeland Park

A must visit location in Oslo. There are so many abstract sculptures throughout the park. And especially the Autumn colours in October were beautiful. Very accessible by public bus.

A spectacular place, a tourist attraction, a park like few others, a place that you must to visit and enjoy the natural, the artistic, very clean and very well maintained. What is presented speaks for itself, it's expressed strongly, and says a lot... Rich in green areas, colors and environments, depending on the season. It's part of the set of areas and fountains that can be found around the park. Its outside downtown, But very easy to reach by bus or train. Highly recommended.

Vigeland Park is an absolute gem! It's like walking through an open-air art gallery, with over 200 sculptures that are both impressive and, let’s be honest, sometimes hilariously quirky! The park is huge, so there’s plenty of space to wander, relax, or just people-watch. The kids had a blast running around while we marveled at the sculptures—some are beautiful, some are... let’s say, 'unique'! A perfect spot to relax, enjoy art, and maybe have a picnic under the trees. Definitely a must-see!

Free admission to enter the park! Early morning will be ideal for lot less people! It is modern sculpture by bronze and marble that emphasize on humanity and human relations! You need to take your time walk and put yourself in the scene when you are in front of a stature, who or when you may have the same experience like what you are looking! There is a cafe by the entrance of some rest or a meal!

A nice tourist attraction consisting of a large number of sculptures. We went over the weekend and it was very busy. No tickets required & just a short walk from Oslo city centre. Would recommend visiting if not been before

A great park to appreciate the artwork of Vigeland. We were lucky with the weather so everything looked so beautiful. The figures/ sculptures are full of emotions: love, anger, tiredness, intimacy, loneliness…it’s all about humanity. For me, the is the unique and attractive thing about the works in the park compared to the god themes in other museums. The view from the park to the city is also spectacular. You can either visit the parks just seeing the main sculptures for one hour or spend the full day enjoying the vibe.

Bit of a walk from the city but very interesting to visit. And completely free! Park and gardens are very large and probably worth a visit on their own even if you don't like sculpture.

Very large and beautiful park situated a little bit outside Oslo city centre. Between 1940 and 1950 more than 200 granite, bronze and iron statues by the famous Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland were installed here. Some of the highlights comprise the Bridge, the Fountain and the Monolith. The entrance to the park is free and is always open.

Frogner Park is home to Gustav Vigeland's absolutely beautiful collection of human-figure sculptures posed both in realistic and abstract manner throughout the lush green park, representing age groups that span the entirety of the life cycle. They tell his life story as well as humankind's. An extraordinary stop whether you're an art lover or general tourist -- and don't miss his iron-work gates at the bottom of the hill!

Huge park to visit. Very vast and you'll see a ton of tour groups. The statues are interesting as humans are.

We came here with a tour group, and I'm so glad we did, as I might have skipped it on my own. Even in a city with so many wonderful places to visit and things to do, this is a must see. The park itself is lovely, with beautifully landscaped grounds and lots of places to enjoy a picnic. The sculptures are the big draw here, and I found them quite moving and interesting, featuring people in all life stages going through the process of being human.

Frognerparken or The Vigeland Sculpture Park is a large park situation in the heart of Oslo. This park is designed around the statue creations of Gustav Vigeland. These statues are the central theme to this park. Vigeland has a very distinctive style of his portrayal of the human body. I won't go into an artist critique here, but these statues present his idealized images of the human body both in individual characterizations and in tandem with one or more other figures. To the modern mind, these are very interesting portrayals. To some, however, they may find a portion of these a bit offensive. I have heard people saying as much while viewing these sculptures. This is not a judgement, this is just to let you know what you are going to see if you visit this park. This is a very popular park. Unless you come here very early in the morning, you are going to be visiting the park, and viewing the sculptures, with a lot of other people. I am sure if you study the photographs of this park, presented here on Yelp, you will easily see what you can expect. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this park. Sure, it is an open and airy place to visit. And sure, you get to see the sculptures of Vigeland, but it is not a great place to come and relax or to quietly and slowly stroll around and enjoy the environment, as there are always so many people visiting this park. If you are looking for an experience like that, it may be better to go to Botanisk hage. Overall though, this is a fun park, defined by the sculptures of a single artist. It is a must see in Oslo.

What a wonderful park - there's something for adults and kids alike. Loved looking at the hundreds of statues depicting so many different human emotions and relationships. Park greenspace is well manicured and maintained. There's little cafes dotted throughout if you wanted to grab a small bite. At the end of the park is a large play structure for kids to climb - bridges, forts, ladders, poles, swings - it was all there! Restrooms cost 20 NOK and the attendant takes credit card. Easy to get here by train or bus.

This is an expansive park worthy of a stroll during the summer months when the weather is lovely outside. Although, I would not hesitate to come here year round. Whether you've been on your feet all day at museums, save some time in the evening for a visit. The sculpture work of Gustav Vigeland can be seen and enjoyed here. Much of it is along the pathways in the park and can be enjoyed for free. There is another paid section of his work, but we weren't able to get there during the limited operational hours. There was just so much to see and do and not enough time to do it all. The park is a lovely place to walk, run, play, picnic, take your dog, and enjoy a bit of nature. One family of four worked to replicate the poses of the sculptures on the bridge. They we're having fun with the challenge, and we were amused watching them. There is a rose garden and a lot of fountains and symmetry in the garden layout. The pathways are gravel dirt, but there is also grass, trees, and concrete walkways too. It's on the train route, so very easy to get to. Come for the sculptures, but enjoy the nature break too!

We spent hours wandering around the 212 sculptures within the park and they're way more haunting and heartbreaking than I expected. Every emotion one experiences in a lifetime is reflected through the sculptures and they're arranged from birth to death. The monolith is supposed to reflect the cycle of life but to me it looked like chaos turning into hope. We ended up cycling here from Oslo's city center, only took about 20 minutes and was easy.

Harrowingly beautiful sculptures stand all around the park, making it an amazing adventure - even just from one sculpture to the next. The Monolith in the center is like the grand finale. It's striking, disturbing, fascinating, & awe-inspiring. In the dead of winter, it was still bustling with people (both tourists & locals). Absolutely worth the visit. If visiting in the winter, wear good shoes. When we were there, the steps weren't treated with salt. It was a bit slippery.

Visited this expansive park on a recent tour we were in. What an amazing spot this is!! I loved all the pathways, statues, and landscaping. We were here in February so snow and slush was everywhere. But I imagine this spot is even more beautiful in the spring and summer time. This is a must visit location for sure!!

Gayle and I came here last summer as part of a bus tour off our Viking Cruise ship. Frogner Park is a pretty and large open space by itself. What a lot of tourists (like me) come for is the permanent sculpture installation within the park that was created by Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943. It consists of various sculptures, plus larger structures such as bridges and fountains. Informally, these fascinating works of art are often referred to as Vigeland Park. There's a lot to look at here in terms of the various naked and intertwined human figures, plus the bridge, the fountain, and the monolith. At the same time, the beauty of the park itself comes out, even if you'd prefer to minimize your Vigeland views.

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.

Frogner Park: The Monolith must've made an impression on me when I saw it on the Oslo episode of Rick Steves' series. It's a stone obelisk nearly fifty feet high composed of 121 naked and intertwined human figures (photo: https://bit.ly/3oyPSjv). Even though it was built in the 1920's, it reminded me of Kylie Minogue's video for "All the Lovers" where she organized hundreds of semi-clad, gym-toned bodies into a writhing human mountain in the middle of downtown LA. Is it getting hot in here? However, Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland was probably inspiring Kylie when he said, "It's only when you put clothes on people that you start defining their religion or where they are from. When you are naked you can be anyone, anywhere at any time." That philosophy led him to design 212 bronze and granite sculptures installed along the central promenade of Frogner Park. Yep, they're all buck naked, and they're meant to represent life in all its manifestations from child to adult through the full range of emotions. At the eastern end of the park, the elaborate Art Deco-style Main Gate serves as the entry point (photo: https://bit.ly/3J7Z3ku), and beyond the Monolith is the Wheel of Life sculpture made up of four adults, a child, and a baby connected in a Martha Graham-style pose (photo: https://bit.ly/3J8e9X7). There's also a beautiful rose garden that serves to soften the hard surfaces. Just so you know, there is no Vigeland Park. It's Frogner Park with this sculpture garden its centerpiece. The rest of the park is a bucolic expanse well worth your time. Now I need to play that Kylie Minogue video. RELATED - Traveling to Norway? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3PEL4Fe

Some days you just have to take a walk or a jug around the park! But some time have a good picnic with good sun and good vibes! Lots of tourist come visit specially to see the angry baby his hand is golden now !

A must see. Try naming all of the statues--a good time. Beautiful park, amazing statues. If you're in Oslo you must go.

"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen." (Sarah, The Labyrinth) It's been rumored that Bowie didn't pass on, but instead returned to rule over his Goblin City. I can't be certain, but I suspect he could be found somewhere within Frogner Park, perhaps inside the labyrinth... Walking through the wrought-iron entrance gates to the park, you may feel like you've wandered onto the magical set of the movie baby of Jim Henson, Ridley Scott, and Wolfgang Petersen. In reality it is a world created by Gustav Vigeland, who designed the park to showcase his life's work of 200 impressive bronze, iron, and granite sculptures. The park might not recount epic fantasy tales, but it does tell evocative stories of relationships and the circle of life through sculptures from precocious children to elderly couples embracing. A bridge lined with statues in humorous poses ushers visitors to the gardens, fountain, and monolith. We were not questioned by a Fox Terrier knight riding a sheepdog while crossing, but we did find "Angry Boy". The baby is bronze now, so Sarah must not have solved the labyrinth in time! Beyond the gardens, enter the labyrinth...just don't choose the door that leads to *bom bom bom* CERTAIN DEATH! Above the labyrinth looms a formidable fountain held up by giant Prometheus-alien-like statues.The statues appeared to be granite, but Fassbender probably just hadn't awoken them from stasis yet. If you survive the labyrinth, climb up to the Monolith Platform to marvel at the never-ending view of the vast kingdom and obleisk of twisted bodies. If you look up, you may spy Falcor flying overhead! With luck you've made it through the park in time so that you too won't turn to bronze like Angry Boy. Then like Sarah, you can tell Jareth, "You have no power over me." The park is free to enter and is open year round. Enter if you dare. "Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind." (Neverending Story)

Rain, shine or snow we trekked to Frognerparken and it began to snow a little. Yes, it was so cold thou seeing the park for the first time you forget it's cold and you dress up appropriately. As a tourist with my family who lives in Norway, I learned to pay attention to the weather because you have no clue. Even it was around 38 degrees, the locals and tourist where out full force. Park is clean, it's free and parking is free- you have to drive around and look. Wear comfortable shoes because we spent a few hours here and lots of acreage. Beautiful and expansive park in the city. You do pay for public restrooms, make sure you have NOK coins. The popular spot is the bridge where all statues are from the acclaimed artist Vigeland whose from Norway. Many people copy the poses what the statues are doing, it's rather amusing. Below the bridge is a river and small waterfall. Enjoy exploring this park, every where you turn is eye candy.

Frogner Park is one of Norway's most popular attraction and Oslo's largest park. It features more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite, and iron by Norwegian artist, Gustav Vigeland. On a nice sunny day there are hundreds of people in this park. You can sunbathe, jog, play sports, walk the dog, have a picnic, visit the Vigeland Museum, and much more. This park also features Norway largest playground. It also has a café and a restaurant. The park is free, but the restrooms are not. 5 stars.

An expansive free park dotted with special sculptures and punctuated with a humanoid obelisk in the middle of the park. Many walking and bike paths criss-cross the gardens. Many sport fields, museums, a water park and a coffee shop are within the perimeter of the park. Didn't find many public restrooms here. Gotta go to the museums or pay at the coffee shop if ya have to go. It was a fun photo op park for us!

When looking for outdoor activities to do in Oslo, this want at the top of the search results. This is the biggest park in Oslo. It's really easy to get to from the trolley stops. We enjoyed our time walking around the park. It's a pretty big park and there are a few sculptures scattered throughout. They have a map by the main entrance so you can find your way and find where the statues are. The park is really pretty. It's more of a manicured style of park than a completely natural one. There are benches throughout as well as some ponds which we enjoyed. I definitely think this is a must see while visiting Oslo!

Beautiful, beautiful park full of sculptures from Gustav Vigeland. We went to see the monolith but had no idea that the entire park was so beautiful. It was snowy and icy in the park but that added to the adventure. Hop on the tram and get out there and explore. I can imagine that the summer and spring would be beautiful as well. There is a playground for kids, people walking their dogs, riding bikes and having snowball fights. Seeing the sculptures is just a small piece of what the park has to offer.

Beautiful park in Oslo, Norway. It is one huge park! In one corner of the park, you will find the Oslo City Museum and Frogner Manor House. In another corner of the park, you will find Frogner Stadium and Frogner Open-air Bath. There is also a cafe and restaurant as well. We spent most of our time at the middle of Frognerparken. This is where you will find the amazing Vigeland Sculpture Park!! Great place in Oslo to relax and lounge around when the weather is good. Green and gorgeous everywhere you look. We were there on a rainy day. I can only imagine how much nicer this park looks on a clear and sunny day!

If in Oslo this park is a must visit and if you only looking to have a nice day out this places is good but can be crowded on hot summers day.

An expansive and impressive open park with baths, sporting facilities and a sports stadium but is noted for the permanent sculptures and installation of a monolith by reknowned artist, Gustav Vigeland. The landscaping, layout, and facilities in the park adds to the impressiveness but the range of sculptures as well as the centerpiece monolith are staggering in their quantity, scale, story, and the emotional impact. I've walked through this park on a few visits and am still in awe every second of every visit.

PRO-TIP: BEWARE OF MOSQUITOS!!!! I got eaten alive! There's still water around. Since you probably didn't think to bring bug repellent to Norway, download a sonic bug repellent app on your smartphone before entering! Though my wife didn't get eaten like I did...maybe the bugs just haven't had Asian in awhile? Norway doesn't have an Eiffel Tower, Colloseum, Big Ben, or Acropolis...but it does have the Fjords and this incredibly beautiful sculpture park and its Monolith...its so bizzare which adds to the awesome! This is the MUST SEE monument of Oslo!

Visited Frogner Park, which includes the Vigeland Museum ($8 USD fee), in late December. Park is free. Snow-covered so reminder for non-Norwegians--bring the right footwear so you don't slip and fall. Frogner Park, which includes the Vigeland Museum, is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist and is a popular attraction. It's a unique park dotted with about 200 nude sculptures made by the life work of Gustav Vigeland. Made from bronze, granite and wrought iron. The statues beautifully capture the male and female body, adults and children statuettes. The 80-acre park is open year round. Despite the 12-13 degrees (F) temperature during my visit on a Saturday, the Park attracted people of all ages and nationalities. Lot a babies bundled up in their strollers were out and about. Norwegians are hearty from a young age--they have to be. Allow 2+ hours to wander the park. Would have been longer if my visit wasn't in late December. True Drone Story. There was a drone buzzing overhead when I was there. First time I had seen one. While I watched the drone in fascination presumably taking a video of us on the ground, it crashed into the Monolith Plateau, the highest sculpture in the park, and crash landed a few feet away. No one came to claim it. See my pics. Access: From Majorstuen Station, take the 20 Bus or 12 Tram to the Park, or 0.5 mile walk in nice weather. From the Skøyen Train Station on the Flytogether train line from the airport, I took the 20 Bus. [Little longer, about 1.3 miles walk which I'd prefer in warmer weather.

Every time I visit Vigeland Park... I got quite emotional.... The scale of this 80 acres sculpture park full of Gustav Vigeland's work is just overwhelming and breathtaking.. 200 life size sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought Iron. The theme of all these sculptures are really close to everyone heart: the cycle of life... and all our emotions and all our baggage we carries through life... Free Admission and Opens 24 hours! Who said nothing in life is free? Bring your camera and take some amazing photos all through the year... or just come in and just walk around and reflect on life. A must visit when you are in Oslo!

We visited this park the day after it snowed so it wasn't easy to walk around. Despite the snow on the ground and the cold weather there was still quite a bit of tourist there plus locals with there dogs running around in the snow. Interesting place to visit and a must see especially because its free. The only drawback was that I didn't see a public restroom. There is an old cemetery in back of the park.

Gorgeous sculpture park, with lovely grounds. Great for walking, picnics, conversation, flying kites, taking pictures, or my favorite-- sipping hot coffee and people watching. . . Good for the soul. And it's free. Free makes everything better. Brings a bright smile to my face :)

I loved this park!! The story of the sculpturer Viegland negotiating a dealing with the city to produce all these statues (about 900 nudes) during the first part of the 20th century is quite amazing. As are the sculptures. The locals use this park for just about everything! What I found amazing is here is all this gorgeous artwork, not fenced off but in everyone's reach for touching, sitting on or just enjoying, yet there was no graffiti or damage anywhere!! And the stories that the artwork tells- from the fountain in the center with the story of life depicted in three levels ( walk around a few times to get the full effect). The first time- look at the statues in the trees starting in the one corner where the children are being born, circling to where there is a skeleton in the tree. On your next go around- look at the sides of the fountain where the story is told again. Now before you head up the hill to look at the obelisk, look down at the mufti colored cobblestones at your feet. It's a maze- follow the white stones and see how long it takes you to move to the next section of the park. Up the hill, the carved obelisk is surrounded again by three levels of story telling sculptures. To get the full effect- walk around each level of this art as well. Easy to get to from downtown Oslo by the blue tram or just jump on the subway. This is a must see while in Oslo!!

A must visit in Oslo! One of the most interesting, pretty and tasteful parks I've been to in a long time. Very well manicured and the statues are cool to look at. It's like going to an outdoor museum, and you didn't have to pay entrance! It is a little far from city center, about 23-28 minutes but the trams and buses in Oslo are amazing (woot for public transit!) so you will get there and be back in no time. Make sure to go on a nice, clear, sunny day and early in the morning or at sunset for great photos.

The sculptures capture common human interactions. They are of all ages from tiny children to the very old. I really enjoyed the experience and was amazed at the depth of the feeling that was conveyed with the minimum of details. For some the lack of clothing might e a distraction or impediment. Not one stitch was seen. Cost is free the toilets were not but they did take Apply pay or a credit card $2 but a number of people went in on one charge. This is worth the visit for about an hour or so.

This has become one of my favorite places in Oslo! Seriously. Whether you're looking for a place to run, to train up some stairs, to have a picnic, or to stare at nude and weird statues, this is the place for you! PLUS, the gates to the park are always open and it's pretty safe to run here in the dark, albeit the fact that some parts would require you to carry a headlamp! Enjoy!

Gorgeous landscape and very well thought out park. The park is split out into different sections which each have its own motif. One area focuses on children playing, another on the "circle of life". The sculptures are exquisite to look at and the messages are conveyed beautifully. "Angry boy" sculpture is the mascot of the park, but I especially enjoyed the sculpture of many men holding up a rock. It symbolizes people approaching life in different ways with some carrying the burden on top of their heads and others lifting it easily above with their hands. Spent about 2 hours in this park, but could spend hours looking at sculptures & garden in detail. Lots of benches for reading and relaxing. Note: sculptures are nude, so people bothered by that may not like this place. Bottom Line: If you can only go to 1 place in Oslo, go here. Would return and easily spend the entire day here. Local guide is highly recommended to help explain symbolism.

This is definitely a must-see visit attraction in Oslo. I visited a few placed with the one day I was in this city and Frognerkparken was definitely my favorite. There are so many extremely bizarre statues (if I were to throw an educated guess, I would say at least 60 statues). Some of them are hilarious and irresistible to not take a pic with them. You can definitely have fun with your friends here whether it is just posing with the statues, taking pics, or just seeing other people posing with them. There is a lot of greenery and I can definitely see it as a great place to take a nice walk to catch a fresh breath of air. I would definitely come back!! I highly recommend this, especially since it is free!!!

This was probably my favorite place to visit in oslo because of the angry baby lol. This iconic place in norway is pretty cool although not much a story behind it (read on google if your curious) but more so nice to look at and ponder. There is the main tall sculpture and the smaller circle on out back. There is also a museum nearby the explains the history and making and has smaller replicas of the real ones outside. The park itself also is beautiful to spend the day at whether with the family picnicking, playing with the dogs (totally pet friendly), or working out (lots of people running). Def a must see if your in oslo.

'Ello chaps! About twenty minutes from Oslo's city center is the world famous Frogner Park. The park is about 110 acres in size, and while it is filled with vast landscaping and floral areas, nothing draws more attention than the baroque style statutes taking up most areas. It's reported Gustav Vigeland created the statutes between 1924 and 1943. The statutes represent hundreds of naked men, women, and children, many displaying various emotions. Frogner Park is reported to be the largest park, by size, in Oslo. It is also the most popular tourist attraction in Oslo, drawing in 1-2 million people per year. You can spend upwards of an hour here, depending on the season, exploring all the fine details of the park. NOTE: The near by cemetery is also a nice walk and is also a notable site for many Americans because that is where famed disc jockey Casey Kadeem is buried, not because of being of any Norwegian descent, but because of a feud between Kasem's adult children and Kasem's second wife. Beyond that I give Frogner Park five stars out of five.

Went on a cruise and visited the Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo, Norway. It was really different and immense. I liked the various sculptures of human figures. This park is not something everybody's heard about, but people should hear about it. It's truly a tremendous feat and wonder in northern Europe!

It's a really really nice large park. With an astonishing weather(which however is quite rare to see here), it's nice either choosing a nice park or Aker Brygge. However I don't see what the fuss is about. There are many naked sculptures in different poses everywhere and that's about it. I mean cool, either I'm not as cultural as I should be or I just don't care spending an hour to get here and touristing around this place.

This park is soooo dope! It's a great place to walk through, people are smiling, taking photos, couples laying on the grass together. People drinking coffee. A great place to people watch and just enjoy life. It's a free attraction and definitely a must stop if you are in Oslo.

My girlfriend and I visited later in the day (around 21:00) in the beginning of June. It was still light out and chillier than expected. It was easy to get to the park - from our hotel near Oslo S, we took a (free?) 15-min tram, which dropped us off 3 blocks away from Frogner stadium. The park was gorgeous, very clean and relatively empty, save a few runners. Great spot for relaxing, picnicking, and having great talks.

Super Nice Park Near the Train Station! Cool nude sculptures by Gustav Vigeland who has a museum on the site too. talented guy! Several themed sculptures are present. BEAUTIFUL trees and nature surround you in such an inviting park. I spent several hours here talking with a friend and taking pictures and eating lunch. It's right in the city so a great little spot to relax.

Much like Park Guell in Barcelona, Vigeland Park is one of a handful of parks in the world designed by one artist. The naked sculptures symbolize the Circle of Life, as Mufasa would say. There's lots of kids and laughter in this park, borne out of genuine fun and getting to take advantage of this relaxing breathing space, and no, they're not laughing at the nakedness, that's all cool around here.

This was one of my favorite things on my day trip to Oslo and it's free! It's a sculpture garden full of sculptures of men, women, children and babies. My sister and I had fun taking pictures imitating the sculptures. There were also pretty tulips and a cafe near the entrance. It costs money to use the bathroom but there were three stalls. We all shared the bathroom and let some people in after us so they didn't have to pay.

Since moving to Oslo beginning of March, I've been trying to hold off a visit to Vigelandsparken until the trees are green, the grass is bushy and the birds are tweeting. A couple weeks ago I gave in on a sunny day and pulled the husband along for a ride to the place. If you don't know the history I really suggest you look it up, Gustav Vigeland is an amazing sculptor, they even built him his own house and studio on site while he was working on the sculptures for the park. We didn't have a chance to do the Vigeland museum which is in the same location, so we will definitely be back for that and just to enjoy ourselves again. Prepare to be awed, the whole place is such a pleasure to walk and relax and people watch.

Beautiful area, one of my favorite places in Oslo. It's not exactly an attraction, or even a place people where should expect to be amazed. It is however a great place to relax, walk, run, bike, and forget you are in the middle of a city. The rivers and waterfalls are also very pretty, complete with ducks and other birds. In the summer it's very popular with people picnicking, so keep that in mind, it can be very crowded during the peak summer season.

Frognerparken is located on the west side of town, it's a beautiful and large park that offers a variety of long walks, art, culture and is perfect if you have children too, it has its own playground that is equipped with swings, slides and much more. In the winter you can ski or go sledging with the children and in the summer it's perfect for groups to have the perfect picnic. I would highly recommend a trip to check out the location. It's well worth it!

Vigilant park is a must to visit when ur in Oslo.different sculptures made of granite stone perfectly done,shiny n excellence .make sure u take pictures of the angry little boy, one of his known sculpture.i heard the artist is german and did most of his life creating this magnificent stones,all he asked was to placed his art in a park n he got it.the place is huge it's like walking to the Abraham Lincoln palace in D.C. but of course it's not a palace but a garden n park. A unique park indeed.

Probably one of the coolest spots in Oslo. Great place for instagramming. We visited this park while staying nearby with friends and had a great time checking out all of the sculptures. Very family friendly spot and our friends said the park is full of people barbecuing with disposable grills in the summer.

Norway's known more for it's incredible hiking opportunities, but if you're in Oslo, this place is definitely worth a visit.
