  • One of the most amazing winter sights!

    The Vigeland Park is without any doubt a raw jewel in Oslo, and therefore an amazing experience. It's within walking distance from Centre Oslo (or for the lazy ones, by Metro) and I recommend the visit.

    Vigeland Park during Winter has some of the most amazing sights. Everything is snowy white, the lakes are frozen and it's a great spot for great photography. There are lots of sculpture and an obelisk for you to see. Don't miss it!

    And, best of all... it's completely free.

    It's chilly outside and it's still snowing. What a …
