The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Sentrum, Eastern Norway
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.

1. Christian Radich
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
Christian Radich is a beautiful old sailing ship. Her homeport is Oslo, at Akershusutstikkeren below Akershus Fortress. From September to May the ship is out sailing, but in May she is back in Oslo. The ship is normally closed to visitors except groups on request. From the kiosk at the dock, you can sign up for membership in Friends of Christian Radich and buy souvenirs. In the summer you can join on the summer voyages. The ship has had a dramatic history as a sail training ship since its launch in 1937. The recent years, the ship has divided its time between the charter market, sightseeing tours, summer trips to foreign ports with paying trainees on board, the Tall Ships Races and large sailing events in various European ports.

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).

This attraction doesn’t even have an entrance fee. We were allowed to go in even though one chamber was closed due to a marriage celebration and reception on going . Impressive, with art depicting murals of Norwegian history coupled with Norse mythology. This is also the official venue of the Nobel Peace prize done annually.

Beautiful fortress, a pleasure to walk around takes a good couple of hours to walk around and take pictures Stunning setting, great views you can walk to the top of the fortress grounds and see over parts of Oslo A great historical site with original features and even Cannons, will say it can be hard to walk around for those with limited mobility due to the ground being uphill and then downhill but it really is a great walk and I recommend fully as you can almost smell the history there Just on a side note the museum connected is small but it has free entry there is also a gift shop (Some good souvenirs in there). There is also a cafe and a restaurant on the grounds but we found these difficult to find despite signs there as the cafe and restaurant were not very well signed themselves

Visited in Decmber ovenight from a cruise ship. Just about 10 minutes walk from the ship. Karl Johans Gate/ road leads out to the Huge Grand Hotel, Theatre and City Hall Buildings and all looked fabulous with lights and trees up for the Festive Season. Just across from these large buildings and only a stones throw/few minutes walk from Karl Johnas Gate is the Christmas Market, Huge Ferris wheel - small fair ground rides - lots of stalls selling - crafts and various food stuffs. Lots of large pop up bars and an ice rink in centre where you can hire the boots. In the area there are lots of bars and restaurants too. There are two tunnels of lights along with several hanging fire pits to sit on a log and keep warm throughout the market. - which felt so Scandinavian.

7. Oslo Cathedral (Oslo Domkirke)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 840gabrielh - Bellaire, United States
This baroque church, the main church of the Church of Norway (Lutheran), is the third cathedral in Oslo. Building was started in 1694 and completed three years later. It has undergone multiple remodelings, some changing the original character and style of the Cathedral. The most recent facelift was completed in 2010. Built of a nondescript red brick, the single-spire church is not much to look at from the outside. Inside, however, it is a surprisingly decorated and colorful church, with beautiful frescoes on the ceiling, an elaborately carved main altar, a delightful baroque pulpit, glorious stained glass, and a fabulous organ and choir in the back of the church.
