Vigelandsparken.
A park full of beautiful sculptures if you're into that sort of thing. If not, it still has some hilarious ones.



The Opera house.
One of the few decent buildings in the unofficial ugliest capital of the Western world.



Try some snus. Portioned advised for beginners. Mandatory when in Norway and Sweden


Holmenkollbakken.
Norway's most popular attraction, and one of the dearest places for Norwegians. The holmenkoll chappel is around there somewhere too. It was burned down by Varg Vikernes, Euronymous and Faust during the church blazing 90's! Fun times!



The Royal Palace. Be there 13:30 to see the Guard change. I've had many cold nights in front of that in that itchy uniform. Fun fact: The plumed bowler hat is inspired by the Italian Bersaglieri.


Akershus Festning.
Fortress from 1299. HQ of the army. Inside is Hjemmefrontmuseet (Norway's Resistance Museum) Basically about the resistance and occupation in Norway during WW2. There is also forsvarsmuseet (Defense museum) in the area. Basically about the armed forces from the middle ages to present day. There's a M48 Patton and a M24 Chaffe parked around that museum. You can watch changing of the Guards there at 13:30 as well. If you're lucky, you will see Guards slipping on the deadly, slippery stones.


Homefront Museum

Chaffee


The wall inside the fortress where Quisling was executed. The building is Krutthuset (gunpowder house)


Oscarsborg Festning.
The fortress which held the cannons (Josef and Aaron) which sunk Blücher. (The torpedo battery which sealed her fate is further inwards in the fjord though. There are ferries transporting to and back.



Viking ship museum. Mandatory.


The Fram museum. Lies on the same location as Viking ship museum. Here is Fram. The ship that was used in the Amundsen expedition to the South Pole. It was also used by Nansen on his first try to get to the North Pole. Gjøa lies there as well, the ship used by Amundsen to sail the North West Passage.


Nasjonalgalleriet (National Gallery). Art 'n shit. Just go there to take a selfie in front of "Skrik" ("Der Schrei der Natur" or just "Scream")


I have little experience with the night life, other than I bet it's expensive.

There will be an increase in lesbians among the Norwegian female population, I guess ;)

Bring cash. Not all places accept credit cards and such.
