History:
Founded in 1048 AD, the city suffered huge damage in fire accident. It was subsequently rebuilt to be the maritime hub of Norway and eventually became the economic and industrial center. Reckoned as one of the world’s fastest growing cities, Oslo was once called as ‘Kristiania’.
Popular Places:
Oslo boasts of the famous Vigelandsparken, a sculpture park. It has 212 amazing sculptures and the monolith, which is 17 meter high having 121 figures, is truly astonishing. The medieval Akershus fortress besides retracing to the age, offers some splendid views of the city. Holmenkollen ski jump tower is a must visit site. One can reach the top to view spectacular views of fjords or simply experience the ski feeling.
Norsk Folkemuseum, Viking Ship Museum, Norwegian Maritime Museum and Kon-Tiki Museum give insight into Norway’s maritime history. The Royal Palace situated on top of Karl Johansgate offer great views and the beautiful park around it is an ideal place to spend evenings. Oslo city hall, famous venue for Nobel Peace Prize, is an impressive construction by the waterfront with many sculptures and paintings.’
