10 Things to do in Sentrum That You Shouldn't Miss
The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

It's great to have such a huge and fantastic hiking area just outside the city center with good public transportation. Unfortunately, I had to live here for 18 years before I found out, thanks to closed activities due to Covid-19.

This was an excellent museum and a great history lesson regarding the Norwegian resistance during WWII. There is a lot of reading. You must put in the effort to learn. It is well worth it. The amount of artifacts that were preserved were amazing, such as smuggled letters and secret resistance correspondence. You may think you know everything about WWII, but come here and you will learn more. Norway definitely put up a fight to help preserve the rights of people all over Europe. Very impressive exhibit. We spent 2 hours here. The museum is a small building inside the Akershus Fortress. Entrance fee was covered by the Oslo Pass.

This is a free entry museum located close to the Askerhus Castle. When we entered on the ground floor we thought that it was a small museum detailing the various campaigns in which the Norwegian armed forces participated. Then we walked up to the first floor. There unfolded a vast, detailed exhibition of all the conflicts that Norway was involved in - starting from the Vikings, through the numerous wars with Sweden right up to the Second World war and beyond. Each section of the exhibition displays numerous artifacts and information.

Even though I’m nervous with heights it was great to climb the roof of the Opera and take a look over Oslo followed by a lovely hit chocolate in the cafe of this amazing building.

Gallery in the City Hall. Entrance from the harbour side (City Hall Square).

It is free to enter and it is well worth a spot on your tour itinerary. The main hall is interesting but the highlight is the upstairs galleries filled with painted walls. Go down stairs too to the biggest coat room ever!

This visitor centre is located within the central train station and easy to find. It’s also very busy. The lady we spoke to was extremely helpful and provided suggestions outside our queries. Very useful for getting public transport advice and determining if an Oslo Pass is suitable for you.

My Air BNB was in Sorenga, and I enjoyed walking the promenade so to get to the City Hall area, Aker Brygge, or just about anywhere I was walking various parts of the promenade (especially the Opera House section ... like 8x a day lol). Very refreshing, even in the elements (it snowed and rained while I was here in March).

Ice skating on a frozen fountain in the middle of Oslo. You can rent skates from the cabin for 110k, a little expensive but you can have the skates all day.
