What to do and see in Gamle Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

Oslo is a great city but sometimes it can be nice to get away from the busy centre, so take a boat trip to peaceful Hovedoya Island where you can explore and see some beautiful natural surroundings and the monastery ruins. Just make sure you check times for the return boat - some times of year they do not run very frequently, and you wouldn't want to be stranded overnight!

5. The Vantage Point Ekeberg
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
The Vantage Point: Valhallveien, Ekeberg, second highest curve Starting point: Konows gate, Gamlebyen Distance: 2.6 km Incline: 120 hm Roadway: asphalt Several fine vantage points are found within cycling distance from the centre of Oslo. The Valhall curve is probably the best vantage point in the city. It is also known as the place where Edvard Munch was inspired to paint his world-famous painting Scream. You will recognise the painting's landscape contours as you enjoy the view from Valhallveien. Recommended route (from Gamlebyen): from Oslo gate via Dyvekes vei, Konowsgt to Valhallveien, stop in the last tight curve below Ekeberg Camping.

Found this sculpture park online when looking for things to do in Oslo. A lovely walk up the hill and seeing the various art sculptures along the way made it more enjoyable. The view from the top was very nice and it would have been even better on a sunny day.
